Physical Examination

All students enrolled at UMSL are required to submit a comprehensive physical form completed by a primary provider upon entry to the University.

Returning student-athletes who have participated in UMSL Athletics and who already have a physical on file will need a new one prior to their junior year.

Although one initial physical is only necessary upon initial enrollment, it is recommended that all student-athletes have an annual complete physical done by their family physician.

If a student-athlete arrives on campus without a physical, the student-athlete will have the option to pay a nominal fee to obtain a physical at a local medical facility.

Medical Information & Health History

All freshman and transfer student-athletes must complete the required Sports Medicine medical information annually prior to participating in their first practice at UMSL.

The following information must be completed:

• Emergency Medical Information
• Student-Athlete Medical History Questionnaire
• Provided Copy of Insurance Form
• Sickle Cell Trait Test Results

All student-athletes are required to complete the Sports Medicine Health History form describing previous injuries and past medical history.

If a student-athlete has sustained injuries to the head, neck, back, shoulder, knee, ankle or internal organs, or has had fractures, dislocations, severe sprains, surgery or any other major health-related problem prior to enrollment at UMSL, the condition must be documented.

UMSL will not take responsibility for any pre-existing injury which has not been properly rehabilitated or documented.

Previous Injuries

Previous injuries not fully rehabilitated may disqualify a student-athlete from participation until approval is received from the UMSL Head Team Physician.

If a student-athlete is under the care of a physician not associated with UMSL, written permission from that physician must be received by the Sports Medicine staff indicating when the student-athlete may resume activity and if any limitations exist.

The final determination regarding athletics participation rests with the Head Team Physician.

Health Insurance

All student-athletes must annually submit an up-to-date health insurance card, including both the front and back.
