Paul Steinbach Headshot

The University of Maryland indicated Wednesday that it has fulfilled the final recommendation from a panel of medical experts looking to improve the care of the school’s student-athletes after the June 2018 heatstroke death of football player Jordan McNair.

As reported by The Baltimore Sun, the university announced the appointment of Dr. Yvette L. Rooks as the lead team physician, director of the University Health Center’s newly created sports medicine department, which is operating outside the athletic department, and assistant director of the University Health Center. Rooks previously worked at the school for nearly two decades as a team physician, including the final eight years as head team physician, before departing in 2017 for Rutgers, where she served as chief medical officer for athletics.
