SECTION I
AUTHORIZATION FOR MEDICAL TREATMENT
I (we), the undersigned, am (are) the parent(s) and/or legal guardian(s) of the above named student, a minor, being under the age
of eighteen (18) years. I (we) have specifically granted my (our) said child permission to attend the U.S. Coast Guard Academy
AIM Program to be held at the U.S. Coast Guard Academy in New London, Connecticut in July 2017.
To the best of my (our) knowledge and belief, my (our) said child has no mental or physical defects, diseases or impairments, and
during such program he/she may engage in all physical activities, including drills, exercises, and sports. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, I (we) specifically verify that the medical history information previously submitted with said child’s AIM
application is complete and accurate, and that said information is unchanged as of the date we sign this authorization. We agree to
notify the Admissions Office of any change therein that occurs from now until said child’s arrival at the U. S. Coast Guard
Academy for AIM 2017.
In the event my (our) said child should become ill or injured while participating in this program, including the period of time while my
(our) said child is traveling from his/her place of residence to the U.S. Coast Guard Academy, while at the U.S. Coast Guard
Academy, and returning from the U.S. Coast Guard Academy to his/her place or residence, I (we) hereby authorize all medical
personnel, including but not limited to physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, athletic trainers and other health
personnel working at the U.S. Coast Guard Academy’s direction to administer drugs, medication (prescription or over-the-counter),
blood, and medical treatment, including emergency first aid and surgery which, in the judgment of any of the above, is necessary
or desirable to protect the life, health, well-being, or safety of said child. All decisions concerning medical treatment of all types
may be made by such medical personnel. Except for first aid, immediate emergency treatment, and ongoing evaluation and
treatments by licensed athletic trainers, all AIM students will be transported to local emergency rooms, physician offices, or walk-in
clinics at the expense of the parent or guardian for medical treatment. Students will not be treated on base or by Coast Guard
personnel, except as stated above.
I (we) further agree that any and all medical treatment deemed to be necessary and appropriate, in the opinion of such medical
personnel, may be undertaken without notification to me (us). I (we) further represent and agree that, in the exercise of the
discretion in selection of medical facilities, medical personnel, the U.S. Coast Guard, the U.S. Coast Guard Partners and the
officers, members, personnel and employees thereof, are hereby released, indemnified and held harmless from any loss of liability
they, or any of them may incur or suffer by virtue of acts or omissions in pursuance of the premises herein set forth. I (we) further
agree to reimburse the said U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Coast Guard Partners and the officers, members, personnel and employees
thereof, for any and all costs and expenses they, or any of them, may incur, in connection with such medical treatment.
I (we) agree that a photocopy of this original signed form shall have the same validity as said original.
