An Act Relative to Substance Use, Treatment, Education and Prevention
 
Governor Charlie Baker signed landmark legislation into law to address the deadly opioid epidemic plaguing the Commonwealth. The bill is titled An Act relative to substance use, treatment, education and prevention. 
 
This new law includes multiple provisions including a 7-day limit on every opiate prescription for minors  (with certain exceptions),  a mandate for a verbal screen for substance use disorders in students and a requirement that information on opiate-use and misuse be disseminated to all students participating in an extracurricular athletic activity prior to their athletic season.

MIAA Rule 56.1 Student Eligibility/School Requirements: Physical Examinations/Medical Coverage/Concussions

It is an MIAA rule that in order to be eligible to participate in Interscholastic Athletics in Massachusetts, you must have a physical exam on record in the CHS Nurses Office. The exam is valid for 13 months from the date it was performed. Unfortunately, the Mass Dept. of Public Health has ruled that virtual physicals are not acceptable to clear a student athlete for athletic participation. Physicals need to be on file in the nurse’s offices, coaches can no longer accept physicals on the first day of tryouts.

Physical examinations must be performed by a duly registered Licensed Physician, Physician’s Assistant or Nurse Practitioner.

Written doctor medical clearance notes do not take the place of an annual physical. MD Clearances will not be accepted.

The MIAA has partnered with Convenient MD Urgent Care and provides sports physicals at their Massachusetts locations. They have locations in Weymouth, Pembroke, and Quincy.
