UHS Clinic

In-person athletic training appointments are available on the 5th floor of 333 East Campus Mall. Arrive early to your scheduled appointment to allow for enough time for check-in on the iPads. Medical equipment is available for purchase here through UHS.

Lathrop Clinic

This location is for those in the Dance Department. Students can schedule appointments or drop in on a limited basis. If you cannot be evaluated due to volume upon arrival, staff can work to schedule you at a later date.

Telemedicine

Virtual appointments are offered through telemedicine and allows students to be assessed by our Athletic Trainers from the comfort of their own home. If your injury is preventing you from visiting one of our facilities or you are unsure if you need to see a provider in person, telemedicine is for you. If you would like to discuss a telemedicine appointment option, please contact Rec Well Athletic Training at athletictraining@recwell.wisc.edu.  These appointments must take place in the state of Wisconsin.
