Communicable Disease Policy
Students in the Athletic Training Education Program (ATEP) must demonstrate protection against communicable diseases before being allowed to participate in patient care. This includes completion of a comprehensive vaccination/communicable disease record and completion of a physical examination to verify the athletic training student meets the technical standards of the ATEP. Verification of vaccination or verification of recovery from disease must include Hepatitis B, rubella, mumps, rubeola, varicella, tetanus/diphtheria, and tuberculosis.This record will be kept in the student's medical file in the Savage Hall ATR.
Students must also complete yearly training in the handling of blood-borne pathogens and infectious agents as specified by the Occupational and Safety Health Administration and documented by the Department of Kinesiology or the Department of Safety and Risk Management in the Facilities Management division.
