In alignment with district policy and the forthcoming statute, all student-athletes must:
- Complete an EKG and submit the M-DCPS Cardiology Report in its entirety to the athletics office (One EKG is good for 4 years).
- If the EKG results are abnormal, the ECG-EKG Screening ABNORMAL Document must also be completed in full and submitted to the athletics office.
Two documents are required for EKG clearance:
- M-DCPS Cardiology Report (mandatory for all students).
- ECG-EKG Screening ABNORMAL Document (required only if results are abnormal).
The intent is clear: No student will be deemed eligible for athletic participation without proper medical clearance. Athletic trainers are not responsible for interpreting results; their role is solely to ensure that clearance documentation is on file.
