Sports Medicine Delivery Models: Legal Risks.

Sports Medicine Delivery Models: Legal Risks. J Athl Train. 2019 Oct 23;: Authors: Rapp GC, Ingersoll CD Abstract Educational institutions sponsoring competitive athletics may use an athletics model, academic model, or medical model for delivery of sports medicine to student-athletes. Four types of legal risk are considered for these 3 models: litigation, contract, regulatory, and structural. The athletics model presents the greatest legal risk to institutions, whereas the medical model presents the least legal risk. Institutional administrators should consider these risks when selecting or maintaining a delivery model for sports medicine. PMID: 31642711 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
