RRISD Participation/UIL Eligibility and Medical History and Physical Form Seeing Your Family Physician: Please make sure you help us with the following information if you take your son or daughter to the doctor. Whether a Westwood Athletic Trainer or a parent initiates a doctor’s visit for any injury, illness, or dental visit, written communication from the doctor is required prior to returning to activity. You must come by the training room to get a Physician Referral Form before going to the Doctor. This form will give us written communication that include diagnosis, level of activity, any restrictions, and what treatment and/or rehab is recommended. Student Trainers are a vital part of the overall athletic program. Student Trainers will be assigned to all sports and teams. Training Room Hours: Normal training room hours are 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM. Times can vary slightly due to games, and will be posted outside the Training Room. Our Team Physician is David Kerr M.D. Doctor Kerr is at most football games, and is available to the athletic trainers for consultation.
