UIL Medical Advisory Committee To Meet

By Stephanie Ramirez, Communications Officer | Wednesday, September 28, 2011 5:04 PM

The UIL Medical Advisory Committee will meet this weekend in Austin at the AT&T Executive Conference Center.  The committee serves as a permanent advisory committee to the UIL Legislative Council.

The Medical Advisory Committee was formed in 2001 to address student-athlete’s health and safety issues.

The committee will discuss various topics including the UIL concussion management protocol and practice regulations, as well as give updates on steroid testing and any other pending items.

The Legislative Council and the Commissioner of Education must approve all recommendations from the Medical Advisory Committee before becoming policy.
