MEDICAL HISTORY QUESTIONNAIRE


NOTE TO ALL INCOMING FRESHMEN AND TRANSFER STUDENTS:
This form is NOT a medical record. A separate medical record must be completed and sent to Student Health Services in order to be medically cleared for school and to participate in intercollegiate athletics. A copy of this medical record will be forwarded to the Sports Medicine Department.

The information below is necessary in order for the Sports Medicine Department to have a basic knowledge of those conditions, injuries, etc. that you have had in the past or may be affecting you at present. Please read all questions carefully and respond as directed. Be as specific as possible. The contents of this form will be kept CONFIDENTIAL by the Sports Medicine Department and will be used as supplementary information by the team physicians and athletic trainers.

Participation in sports requires an acceptance of risk of injury. Athletes rightfully assume that those who are responsible for the conduct of sport have taken reasonable precautions to minimize the risk of significant injury and that those participating in the sport will not intentionally inflict injury.

The National Collegiate Athletic Association's (N.C.A.A) policies recommend that all student athletes have qualifying medical evaluations upon their initial entrance into an institution's intercollegiate athletics program. Assumption College supports and adheres to this N.C.A.A. policy. Further medical evaluations (subsequent to the initial qualifying exam) may be required in specific cases. This annual form must be completed and returned before an athlete will be permitted to practice or play.
