Discussion List for campus-based and allied personnel working to end gender-based violence on campus.

["Catherine A. Carroll" <>]

We do not consider our athletic trainers confidential sources. Our athletic trainers report administratively to a supervisor, and for other medial related issues to a physician. 

I do believe there is an argument to consider them confidential sources like health service staff. In fact, I encouraged a trainer the other day to write up a proposal to my office requesting that athletic trainers not be considered a responsible university employee and assert the existence of confidentiality under the Physician’s ability. 

Either way – what is important is that you document how you determined whether or not they are or are not considered a confidential source;  make sure they all know it – and you are good to go. 

Good luck!

Subject: Athletic trainers/sports med staff

Would athletic trainers (the sports medicine staff that help with rehab and such) be considered a confidential reporting source like our University Health Services medical staff? They are not nurses, they are Licensed Athletic Trainers, but they are supervised by a physician.
