Communicable Disease Policy. The purpose of the Communicable Disease Policy is to protect the health and safety of the Athletic Training Student (ATS) enrolled in the Athletic Training Program (ATP) as well as the patients with whom the student will come into contact. This policy is designed to provide the ATS, preceptor, and AT faculty with a plan to assist in the management of students with communicable diseases as defined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This policy was developed using the recommendations established by the CDC for health care workers (xxx.xxx.xxx). A communicable disease is an infection that can be transmitted from one person to another. These are transmitted primarily in one of four ways including direct contact with infected blood or body fluids; indirect contact such as in touching infected materials; air borne via a cough, sneeze, or other inhaled particle; and vector borne via animals or insects. Conjunctivitis COVID-19* Mumps Cytomegalovirus infections Pediculosis Diarrhea-related diseases Pertussis Diphtheria Poliomyelitis Gastrointestinal infections (acute) Rabies Herpes infections Rubella HIV infections Scabies Hepatitis infections Staphylococcus aureus infection Influenza Streptococcal infection Measles Tuberculosis Meningococcal infections Varicella (chickenpox) Mononucleosis Viral respiratory infections The WSU ATP recognizes the importance of minimizing the exposure of patients in a clinical setting to communicable diseases. Therefore, it is recommended that athletic training students not report to their clinical site if they have active signs or symptoms of a communicable disease. However, they should immediately notify the assigned preceptor and either the ATP Program Director or the Clinical Education Coordinator of their status. If the ATS incurs an illness lasting for more than 1 day, they are required to see a physician or nurse practitioner to determine if the illness is actively communicable and to clear him/her, in writing, to return to the clinical assignment. The ATS may use their personal physician. If the student does not have access to their personal physician, they may also utilize Student Health Services or WSU team physicians, if available. The ATS is responsible for their own health insurance and for all related charges. They are to follow the recommendations and guidelines of the treating physician. If an ATS will be missing an excessive amount of time (e.g.: longer than one week) due to adherence to the comm...
Communicable Disease Policy. The effect on staff of the Board's policy on communicable disease will be discussed for possible clarification.
Communicable Disease Policy. It is the policy of the University that employees with contagious, infectious, long-term, life- threatening, or other serious diseases may work as long as, with reasonable accommodation, they are physically and mentally able to perform the duties of their job without undue risk to their own health or that of other employees or students. After consultation with public health experts, university officials will determine the ability of the institution to reasonably accommodate employees with contagious diseases. Their determinations will be based on the consideration of such factors as: 1. The duration of the risk; 2. The nature and severity of the potential harm; 3. The likelihood that the potential harm will occur; and 4. The imminence of the potential harm.
Communicable Disease Policy. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) outlines specific policies for minimizing exposure of communicable diseases within health care facilities and between health care providers and patients. The Waynesburg University ATP is educating health care providers and we choose to use the following provisions to manage communicable diseases that may arise in the campus athletic training room and with off-campus affiliated sites. See Appendix F for this policy.

See Appendix F for this policy. • Tuition for Graduate School (Master of Science in Athletic Training) - $665.00 per credit • Withdrawal and refund policy o Please refer to the Academic Catalog for Waynesburg University on pages 31-33. Students in the MSAT Program will encounter additional expenses associated with the program. Those expenses include: • Apparel: Due to the rising cost of athletic training apparel and the number of students in the ATP, students must contribute a small portion (approximately $30) annually toward their athletic training apparel package (usually includes one polo shirt and two t-shirts) that are given to them by the Department of Sports Medicine. Students may elect to purchase additional clothing.

Communicable Disease Policy. Berean Academy desires to maintain a healthy school environment by instituting controls designed to prevent the spread of communicable diseases. While it is not our desire to discriminate against any student, the need for protection of the entire student body is crucial. Therefore, any student at Berean Academy or any student who seeks to enroll who is diagnosed to be carrying any communicable or potentially lethal disease may not be given opportunity to remain or become a student. The concern is twofold: one that other students not be infected, and two, that the ill student not become infected with other diseases transmitted by fellow students or others within the school body.
Communicable Disease Policy. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) outlines specific policies for minimizing exposure of communicable diseases within health care facilities and between health care providers and patients. The Waynesburg University MSAT program is educating health care providers and chooses to use the provisions outlined in the Communicable Disease Policy (Appendix G) to manage communicable diseases that may arise during the ATS’ clinical educational experiences. Each ATS must complete a Clinical Expectations Form (Appendix H) when starting a new clinical setting. This form provides a record that the ATS reviewed the policies, EAP, BBP, and any other important information related to that specific clinical setting with their Preceptor. The following health requirements are mandatory for each ATS prior to their enrollment into the MSAT program. Failure to complete these health requirements will be cause for removal from clinical assignments and may impede progress in the completion of the degree. The following requirements must be on file with the Program Director:
Communicable Disease Policy. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) outlines specific policies for minimizing exposure of communicable diseases within healthcare facilities and between healthcare providers and patients. The Waynesburg University MSAT program is educating future healthcare providers and chooses to use the provisions in the aforementioned “Prevention of Infection and Disease Transmission Policy”. All students must read and sign the Communicable Disease Policy document (Appendix A) confirming that they have read, understand, and will abide by the MSAT program’s rules and regulations when managing any communicable diseases that may arise during the ATS’ clinical educational experiences. Waynesburg University’s MSAT program guarantees all students equal opportunity without regard to religion, race, color, ancestry, national origin, marital status, sex and age. However, the MSAT program is a rigorous and intense program that places specific requirements and demands on the student. An objective of the program is to prepare graduates to enter a variety of employment settings and to render care to a wide spectrum of individuals engaged in physical activities. The technical standards and reasonable accommodations set forth by the MSAT program establish the essential qualities considered necessary for students admitted to this program to achieve the knowledge, skills, and competencies of an entry-level athletic trainer, as well as meet the expectations of the program’s accrediting agency (Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education [CAATE]). All students accepted into the MSAT program must meet the technical standards (Appendix B) with or without modification in order to complete program requirements. Students are required to sign upon entering the MSAT program and update their form if any changes are needed.
