description Background: Proper implementation of an emergency action plan (EAP) in the secondary school setting has been shown to reduce response times for a medical emergency but should be reinforced with regular EAP practice and maintenance. Indications: Understanding the proper implementation and maintenance of an EAP as well as the pivotal role athletic trainers play in adopting and rehearsing a successful EAP. Relevance: Many secondary school settings have EAPs in place but have a higher risk of failing to properly implement them without regular EAP rehearsal and maintenance. Discussion/Conclusion: With regular EAP rehearsals and maintenance under the supervision of an athletic trainer, secondary schools are more readily prepared for an emergency while also understanding clear role delineations each bystander plays.
