49er Athletic Training Department


Quality care of the injured student-athlete is the foremost concern of Long Beach State athletic training. The Long Beach State athletic training staff is comprised of 3 full-time and 2 graduate assistant, certified athletic trainers (ATC's). Additionally Long Beach State has a didactic undergraduate athletic training education program (ATEP), which provides knowledgeable, and professional athletic training students to supplement our staff.

High caliber athletics predisposes the student-athlete to athletic injuries, either minor or catastrophic. Here lies the core of the athletic trainers expertise: prevention, evaluation, recognition / treatment of injuries, and rehabilitation to ensure the student athlete returns to participation in a safe and timely manner.

All of the certified athletic trainers are members of the NATA, a national association, which is recognized by the American Medical Association. The NATA was established for the purpose of advancing, assisting, and educating athletic trainers.

To further supplement and strengthen the 49er staff, Long Beach State has some of the finest physicians in southern California. Headed by Director of Sports Medicine Dr. Larry Drum and Team Orthopedist Dr. Peter Kurzweil. Please click here to view bio's on all of our staff members and our team physicians.
