Sports Medicine

The Haverford School employs two certified athletic trainers who are responsible for the prevention and care of athletic injuries sustained by our student-athletes. It is our goal to respond to all athletic emergencies on campus quickly and to provide prompt treatment. We are able to provide most follow-up care and rehabilitation treatments to ensure your son’s safe return to his sport. The athletic training room is on the first level of the athletic building, across from the fitness center.

About Us

Team Physicians

Dr. Brian Bullock (Main Line Health) has served as the School’s medical director since 1992, and is present at all home football and lacrosse games.

Dr. David Rubenstein (Main Line Health) has served as team orthopedist since 1995. He is available for consultation on any sport-related injuries, and has operated on numerous student-athletes.

Dr. Bradley (“B.J.”) Smith (Rothman Institute) is a consulting sports medicine physician. Dr. Smith has seen many Haverford School student-athletes over the since 2010.

Policies & Procedures

All sport-related injuries should be reported to the athletic training staff for evaluation, treatment, and proper referral, if necessary. If a student-athlete is seen by a physician for any injury or illness, the athletic trainers require a note or verbal correspondence from the physician indicating clearance to return to activity, or the prescribed restrictions that are in place. Any time that a referral is made by the athletic training staff, your son will be given a Physician Injury Evaluation Form to be completed by the physician and returned to the athletic trainers.
