Spring / Summer 2010


Dear Incoming Student-Athlete,

Welcome to TCU and to Fort Worth, home of Horned Frogs!

Below is a series of files that will help us chart your medical records while you are here at TCU.  This information is needed to satisfy a portion of your Medical Records that will be kept and maintained here in the Athletic Department to be used by our Team Physician Dr. Sam Haraldson.  Together, we will work with our Athletic Training staff to make sure that your health and welfare will be taken care of in the case of an injury or illness while competing here at TCU.

Please make a note and be certain that you have printed, and filled out all of this information and return it to the address listed below so we can input your information into our computer tracking system here within the Athletic Department.  If you should have any questions, please feel free to contact me or any of my staff for clarification.

Once you have arrived on campus, we will make arrangements for your actual physical by our group of attending physicians who help with this process each year.  These men and women are the group that make up our Sports Medicine Advisory Team (SMAT) and we will utilize them throughout the year as special needs arise with you and your situation.  They are all huge fans of the Horned Frogs so that makes it even better for us to get you in to see them in their offices when we need too.

When you send your physical packet of information back to us, please remember to send a good, bright copy of your health insurance card back to us so we can scan this into our computers.  As a TCU policy, we will utilize your private insurance as the primary and TCU will act as a secondary insurance in the case of a medical emergency or if you require additional medical attention.

Please return this information as soon as possible prior to your arrival to our campus.  Without this information, you will not be permitted to finish your physical with our doctors or be permitted to train / compete.

Please refer to page 2 of this note to verify your check list and information phone numbers that may be helpful in case of a question.

Please read the following:

• TCU Student Health Center Insurance Letter (Please retain a copy for your records)
• ADD/ADHD Template
• Meningitis Notification
• Meningitis Inoculation Location

Please return the following (checklist):

Please mail or e-mail these files to the address listed below. 

Thanks for your help in dealing with this matter and GO FROGS!

Respectfully
,

Chris Hall, ATC, LAT
