Declaration of Risk

Students are required to participate in all assigned lab activities. Students are instructed in precautions, indications for and contraindications against each therapeutic modality prior to participating in the lab practice. It is the responsibility of the student to declare to the instructor any illness, injury or condition that could present the risk of potential danger, in either the lab or clinical settings, directly to the course instructor or the program director. Personal information will be kept confidential unless otherwise authorized by the student.

In the event that a student is under a physician’s care, the faculty must receive documentation of restrictions or release from care, in order to ensure that accommodations can be made in the lab or clinic. In the event that the student’s health status changes due to an accident, pregnancy, or illness at any time while enrolled in the program, the student must have documentation from a Physician of release and/or restrictions in order to return to class or the clinic. A copy of the documentation will be maintained in the student’s departmental file.
