Upon activation, the police will contact local emergency medical personnel and meet them on campus to escort them to the athletic venue.

In a nonemergency situation that requires immediate care from an off-campus provider, the senior athletic training staff member on duty will communicate with the visiting athletic trainer or the coaching staff as to treatment options and will assist the visiting team members with transportation and referral information. The athletic training staff will be of assistance if necessary.

Please forward a copy of this plan to the coaches of any sports who will be traveling without an athletic trainer.

ok, so my subs really aren't gourmet and we're not french either. my subs just taste a little better, that's all! I wanted to call it jimmy john's tasty sandwiches, but my mom told me to stick with gourmet. She thinks whatever I do is gourmet, but i don't think either of us knows what it means. so let's stick with tasty!
