General/Confidentiality
In dealing with people, common sense must be your guideline. Always stay within the limits of your position and knowledge. Do not discuss any athletic training facility activities (injuries, treatments, doctor's reports, etc.) with others. The confidentiality of the medical atmosphere is paramount. You may not release information to anyone regarding an athlete. This includes the health status of an athlete, open the athlete's file for inspection, copy or reproduce any reports for anyone but the athlete, pass authorized information by telephone or use X-ray or test results for demonstration or instruction without prior, written permission. These guidelines must be adhered to strictly. Disregarding these instructions will result in prompt dismissal from the athletic training program.
