Butler student-athletes have access to a comprehensive sports medicine program that focuses on the prevention, treatment and rehabilitation of athletic-related injuries. Under the supervision of Butler director of sports medicine Bruce Willard, Butler's student-athletes are served by an extensive team of physicians, health care professionals and certified athletic trainers.

The Bulldogs' newly expanded training room is located on the west end of Hinkle Fieldhouse, between the men's and women's basketball coaches' offices. Renovation in the summer of 1998 effectively tripled the usable area devoted to promoting the welfare of Butler's student-athletes. The training room is divided into four areas: rehabilitaion and injury management, athlete preparation, administration and storage and is fully equipped to provide for thorough rehabilitation.

Butler's Sports Medicine staff, which includes Willard, associate athletic trainers Mark Rund and Ryan Galloy and assistant trainers Jason Vereb, Kristin Spangler and Matt Taber, provide care for Butler student-athletes in the areas of injury prevention, nutrition and various wellness issues.

Butler's sports medicine program utilizes the extensive medical community in Indianapolis, which boasts one of the largest and most knowledgeable groups of sports medicine professionals in the nation. Butler student-athletes have access in Indianapolis to world-renowned medical facilities, as well as many of the leading physicians in the world of sports medicine.
