Clinical education sites affiliated with the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and Concordia University maintain a limited supply of various over the counter (OTC) medications. OTC medications must not be dispensed without the prior approval of the supervising preceptor or a licensed medical staff member.
Prescription medications may only be prescribed by licensed physicians, and students associated with the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Athletic Training Program will not have access to prescription medications.
In the rare event an athletic training student (ATS) receives a formal request from their supervising preceptor or a patient to hold prescription medication during an activity, the ATS must ensure the medication container is clearly labeled with the patient's name and the name of the medication. Any medication taken by the patient must be accurately documented and returned to the patient or supervising preceptor immediately upon conclusion of the activity.
