MSHSAA Preparticipation Physical Forms
(Effective April 2023) Recently, MSHSAA made considerable changes to the way schools collect preparticipation physicals and medical history forms for their student athletes. Schools are now no longer permitted to collect the preparticipation physical and medical history documents over HIPPA concerns.  Schools are now required to collect the new Medical Eligibility Form as completed by a health professional. 

Students/parents should follow these steps and complete the paperwork as contained in the document above.

Step 1: Parent/guardian and student complete the medical history form (Pages 1 and 2) in the new preparticipation physical documents.
Step 2: Parent/guardian and student take the completed medical history form and PPE Form (Page 3) to a medical professional (MD/DO/ARNP/PA/DC) at the time of the physical.
Step 3: The medical professional (MD/DO/ARNP/PA/DC) completes and signs the Medical Eligibility Form (page 5). The medical professional retains a copy of both the medical history and PPE form in their office.
Step 4: The completed Medical Eligibility Form only is returned to the athletic office or head coach.
Preparticipation physicals are still good for two years from the date of administration, unless marked as one year by a medical professional.
