department of athletics policies & procedures - UNC Wilmington ...

The Director of Athletic Training with assistance from EH&S shall assure that the policy
outlined here is effectively carried out as well as to maintain records related to this
policy.
Student exposure
Should an exposure incident occur, the student must report it immediately to their
Approved Clinical Instructor and the Athletic Training Education Program Director. The
student should seek medical evaluation and follow-up care at Medac II (if the student has
health insurance), the UNCW Student Health Center (if uninsured), or Cape Fear
Hospital Emergency Room (during off hours). It is strongly recommended that medical
care be sought within the first two hours after an exposure in case prophylactic
medication is indicated. Medical care and follow-up should include the same
components as listed above for employee exposure. However, the student will be
responsible for payment of all medical services related to the exposure incident. As
athletic training students are not employed by the university, UNCW will not bear any
financial responsibility for medical services related to an exposure.
Exposure Out of Wilmington Area
If the exposure incident occurs while the employee/student is traveling to an away
contest, exposures should be evaluated at the nearest emergency facility.
Record Keeping
All employee BBP training records and vaccination information forms will be kept by a
designated athletic training staff member. All post-exposure records will be forwarded to
and maintained by EH&S. Medical records of persons separating from employment at
UNCW will also be forwarded to and maintained by EH&S.
Athletic training student vaccination and BBP training records will be maintained in the
Athletic Training Education Program Director’s office.
Training records should include:
the dates of the training sessions
the contents or a summary of the training session
the names and qualifications of persons conducting the training
the names and job titles of all persons attending the training sessions
