Medical Group so any issues can be addressed by their pri- mary care physician. This helps ensure that the student can participate in the sporting activity of their choice. This pre-participation physi- cal exam is an important part of safe sports participation. The exam can help screen athletes for potential illness or condi- tions that may limit or restrict their ability to participate in a school sport. It also helps ensure that students who play sports are physically capable of meeting the demands of the sport in which they choose to participate and don't have any conditions that may be aggra- vated by intense exercise. Sports physicals are required prior to the student starting any type of practice related to their chosen sport. The school staff prepares each provider’s room and med- ical assistants’ stations by cov- ering all windows with paper for privacy. The students are moved efficiently through five stations before being seen by the provider. The goal of the sports physi- cal is to help keep sports safe and accessible to every student who wants to play.
