To ensure the safety of our student-athletes, all athletes must be medically cleared to participate in athletics at Pine Manor College (PMC). To be cleared the following steps must be completed in full:
| 1. |
All athletes must have a physical exam that is dated within 6 months of August. A physical form that is to be filled out by your physician is available below. |
| 2. |
In the state of Massachusetts you must have proof that you have health insurance. If you are enrolling in the school’s insurance you do not need to do anything. If you are waiving the school’s insurance you need to bring your own insurance card as proof. |
| 3. |
If you are being treated for ADHD you must bring documentation signed by a physician. This documentation must include a medication list as well as the diagnostic tested performed. |
| 4. |
The NCAA is in the process of mandating that all athletes provide documentation of their sickle cell trait status. Sickle cell trait is a genetic disorder that can be diagnosed by a blood test. More information about the condition can be found within the PMC Sickle Cell Fact Sheet and the NCAA Sickle Cell Fact Sheet. You can confirm your status by:
|
| |
• Contacting the hospital in which you were born or your pediatrician to see if they can confirm your status as every infant born in the United States is tested at birth. Documentation must be signed by the physician and brought with you to campus.
• Inform your physician that you need a sickle cell blood test during your physical. If the test is positive, further testing may be required. Documentation must be signed by the physician and brought with you to campus.
• The athletic training staff will assist you in undergoing proper testing once you arrive at campus.
|
| |
While it is strongly recommended by the NCAA and Pine Manor Athletic Training Services that you confirm your sickle cell status, you can decline to do so by signing the Sickle Cell Testing Declination Form (available soon). You must review the fact sheets listed above in green prior to signing this form. |
