Tim Kerin Athletic Training Room
The Tim Kerin Athletic Training Room is located inside the Neyland-Thompson Sports Complex, and is known to be one of the nation's top rehabilitation and athletic training centers. Named after the legendary former Head Athletic Trainer Tim Kerin, who passed away suddenly in 1992, the Athletic Training Room is considered the main hub for our student-athlete's medical needs, allowing our student-athletes to see experts in various medical fields (i.e.: Optometrist, Cardiology, Neurology, Dentistry, Podiatry, Dermatology, etc.).
The Tim Kerin Athletic Training Room compromises 8,000 square feet of the most modern equipment available on the market. Tennessee's training facility is considered one of the most functional and comprehensive in the country; serving more than 300 student-athletes on 8 different Division I athletic teams.
The Athletic Training Room is currently under renovations that are scheduled to be complete by the end of the 2007-2008 academic year. These renovations include: the addition of a physicians' suite, including X-Ray capabilities, the addition of state-of-the-art rehabilitation equipment, and many cosmetic upgrades.
The University of Tennessee was the first collegiate training room to house an on site pharmacy, and has been a model for other sports medicine facilities nationwide. Around the country, there are only a handful of Sports Medicine Facilities that have an onsite State Licensed pharmacy to allow physicians immediate access to prescription medication.
The Athletic Training Room allows our student-athlete daily and comprehensive access to world-class healthcare providers. Serving the student-athlete is, and has always been, our number one goal.
