Tulane Sports Medicine
Mission Statement:
The mission of the sports medicine staff is to ensure the welfare of all Tulane University student-athletes.
The Tulane sports medicine team is proud to serve the healthcare needs of the Tulane Student-Athlete. The staff consists of six full-time certified athletic trainers, four certified graduate assistant athletic trainers and numerous undergraduate student workers. The athletic trainers work very closely with the staff at the Tulane Institute of Sports Medicine and under direct supervision of team physicians, Felix "Buddy" Savoie, MD, Greg Stewart, MD, Michael O'Brien, MD, and Wendell Heard, MD. Located on the first floor of the James W. Wilson, Jr Center, the Earl "Bubba" Porsche Athletic Training Room serves as the main athletic training facility for football, baseball, track and field, cross country, and swimming and diving. Since the official opening of the Hertz Practice Facility, the Hertz Athletic Training Room serves as the primary athletic training facility for men's basketball, women's basketball, volleyball, and bowling. There is also a satellite athletic training room located in Devlin Fieldhouse. Together, they serve the medical needs of all 16 Tulane Athletics teams.
