Sports Medicine

The UC Riverside Sports Medicine Staff is committed to providing the best medical and health care services possible to members of UCR athletics teams. For general inquiries, please email sportsmedicine@ucr.edu. 

The Sports Medicine Staff works in concert with local sports medicine physicians, on-campus health providers, and nutritionists to keep student-athletes healthy.

Located in the Physical Education Building adjacent to the men's and women's locker rooms, the Sports Medicine Clinic has a taping area, facilities for injury rehabilitation, hydrotherapy and a separate office area for the Sports Medicine staff.

The Sports Medicine Clinic is generally open from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. year round, but hours will vary depending on practice/game schedules.
A member of the sports medicine staff will be on-site or in the training room during all team practices.
