(a)Each person who practices athletic training under standing orders shall make a written or oral referral to a licensed health care provider of any physically active individual who has an athletic injury whose symptoms have not improved for a period of four days from the day of onset, or who has any physical or medical condition that would constitute a medical contraindication for athletic training or that may require evaluation or treatment beyond the scope of athletic training.
(b)Each person who practices athletic training, but not under standing orders, may perform initial evaluation, immediate injury management and emergency care of any physically active individual suffering an acute athletic injury or illness and shall, without delay, make a written or oral referral of such physically active individual to a licensed health care provider. The limitations on the practice of athletic training set forth in this subsection shall not apply in the case of any physically active individual that is referred to such person by a licensed health care provider, provided such practice shall be limited to the scope of such referral.
