MEDICAL / POLYCLINIC

The main Polyclinic is located on the main floor of the EARP residence building at Brock University.

The Polyclinic is available for athletes, coaches and managers for medical, therapeutic and pharmaceutical purposes by physicians, nurses and therapists. Other on-call referral services will be available (dentists and optometrists).

Athletes must be accompanied by a coach, manager, or Mission Staff on their initial visit. A physician’s referral is required for all services offered at the Polyclinic. Services are available on a first come, first served basis.

Pre-competition taping will be available at the Polyclinic and sport venues. Athletes should organize their time to avoid wait times and any last-minute taping that could cause delays. Kineso tape will not be available; if you want kineso tape, please bring your own.

MEDICAL LIAISON | Dr. Julie Brandt is Team Sask’s Medical Liaison. She is the link between the Host Society and Team Sask. Although Julie is not allowed to treat athletes, she will offer expertise and observe athletes if necessary. Injured athletes should proceed to the Polyclinic.
