What really happens when an athlete goes down on the sideline?

In this episode of the Physical Therapy San Pedro Podcast, Dr. Ja'nae Brown sits down with Ann DeGrey, PT, DPT, SCS, EMR — board-certified sports physical therapist, EMR instructor, and founder of NovaSport Institute — to unpack one of the most important (and misunderstood) topics in sports medicine:

👉 Scope of practice

👉 Sideline authority

👉 The EMR title

👉 Malpractice coverage

👉 Chain of command in emergencies

With more PTs stepping into event coverage roles, there's growing confusion around what training allows you to do — versus what your license legally permits. This episode breaks down the difference between education, authority, and designation.

We cover:

• What PTs are trained and licensed to do on the sideline

• How that differs from an ATC's role in acute injury management

• What "EMR" officially means — and why completing a course doesn't grant the title

• Common malpractice myths ("I was just volunteering…" "Good Samaritan laws protect me…")

• Why event-specific insurance matters

• How to function effectively within a sideline medical team

• When to act — and when to defer

💡 Key Takeaways:

Good intentions don't replace legal clarity.

Training improves readiness — not titles.

Strong teams rely on clarity, not ego.

Preparedness means knowing your scope, role, and coverage.

If you're a PT, ATC, chiropractor, or healthcare professional considering sideline coverage, this is a conversation you need to hear before something goes wrong.
