UMBC team’s physicians and surgeons are part of the University of Maryland Medical System. The Sports Medicine team brings to UMBC a high level of experience and expertise in treating athletes.

Medical care is provided out of three athletic training facilities for UMBC student-athletes. The main athletic training room is located in the UMBC Event Center on the first floor and is home to the volleyball and basketball teams. This facility includes two plunge pools as well as a treadmill therapy pool, a physician’s office, conference room, and all the staff offices. The UMBC Stadium Complex houses the second athlete training facility. Conveniently located between the men’s and women’s locker rooms, this facility is used by the soccer, lacrosse, baseball, softball, cross country, and track and field teams. The third facility is located on the entry level of the Retriever Activities Center. This facility is used for our swimming and diving teams as well as indoor track.
