Because of the serious legal and health risks of improperly administering medication to cadets, if any of the criteria listed above are not fully met, ATC New England is legally obligated to refuse to accept the medication. Cadets may not hold or self-administer any medications during training. Cadets will report to the Medical Office for each necessary administration. Do not “withdraw” your cadet from a necessary medication for the purposes of sending them to training – it is ill-advised, unethical, and dangerous. If they need the medication – follow the procedures and send it with them. |
