Services, Requirement G -
- The school health services program shall include
but not be limited to the following - (a) Every child entering school for the first
time shall have a physical examination. A doctor
of medicine, osteopathic physician, physician
assistant, certified nurse practitioner, or a
properly trained public health nurse shall
perform this examination. No child shall be
admitted to school without proof of immunization
except those who are exempt by statute as
provided in T.C.A. 49-6-5001. - (b) Every student participating in
interscholastic athletics shall have an annual
physical examination. A doctor of medicine,
osteopathic physician, physician assistant,
certified nurse practitioner, properly trained
public health nurse, or registered nurse who has
received specialized training as defined by the
Tennessee Department of Health shall perform this
examination. Additionally, examinations of
students in the 7th and 9th grades who
participate in interscholastic athletics shall be
reported using the Interscholastic Sports
Examination Form developed by the Tennessee
Department of Health.
18Update Regarding Proposed Sports Physical Rule
Change for 7th and 9th Graders
- There has been a delay in the process of moving
forward with the proposed rule change regarding
sports physicals for 7th and 9th graders. In the
meantime, the State Board of Education still
recommends that 7th and 9th grade athletes get
the well-child checkup/EPSDT screen. Until the
rule-making process is complete, however, either
exam (the traditional sports physical or the
comprehensive well-child checkup/EPSDT screen)
will be accepted by the State Board of Education
and by TSSAA. - The Interscholastic Sports Examination Form is
the only form needed for these students. TSSAA is
accepting this form for these students (and TSSAA
will accept this form for students in any other
grade as well). Although the comprehensive
EPSDT/well-child checkup is recommended, it is
not required that athletes have this box checked
on their clearance form.

by design they deal with it by default. - (Health Is Academic)
