  13. What outside providers can participate in our events? • Any entity that is approved by your faculty advisor and meets the following criteria: • Licensed provider • Ability to take on individuals as their own patients • Mechanism for securing medical records

  14. We understand that medical students are no longer able to use the medical equipment, can we lend them to other providers? • No, if the machines are not calibrated
