(a) Except as provided in (b) below, if a licensed athletic trainer is working outside of an interscholastic, intercollegiate, intramural, or professional athletic setting, the licensed athletic trainer shall provide athletic training services only when a physician (who may, in this instance be licensed in another state) has referred the athlete for athletic training after physically examining the athlete.

(b) A licensed athletic trainer who is providing athletic training services during an athletic event outside of an interscholastic, intercollegiate, intramural, or professional athletic setting may evaluate an injury suffered by an athlete during that event and provide immediate athletic training services for that injury. After the initial response to the injury, the licensed athletic trainer shall refer the athlete to a physician for a physical examination. The licensed athletic trainer shall not provide any further athletic training services to such an athlete until a physician has referred the athlete for further athletic training services.

(c) When a licensed athletic trainer is working outside of an interscholastic, intercollegiate, intramural or professional athletic setting with an athlete, the licensed athletic trainer's plan of care shall include provisions for supervision from a supervising physician during all aspects of athletic training, not just during the provision of physical modalities.
