 permit  pursuant  to section thirteen hundred ninety-three of this arti-
 cle, shall be authorized to employ or contract with a  physician,  nurse

 cal  nurse  OR  EMERGENCY MEDICAL TECHNICIAN to act as a designated camp

 health  director  for the sole purpose of providing health services that
 benefit campers and staff at the camp while the camp is in operation. In

 ment,  but shall be informed of such treatment as medically necessary to

 GENCY  MEDICAL  TECHNICIAN  IS  THE  CAMP HEALTH DIRECTOR, THE EMERGENCY
 MEDICAL TECHNICIAN SHALL NOT SUPERVISE THE PROVISION OF TREATMENT BY THE
 LICENSED PROFESSIONAL PROVIDING SERVICES, BUT SHALL BE INFORMED OF  SUCH
 TREATMENT  AS MEDICALLY NECESSARY TO ENSURE THE WELL-BEING OF THE CAMPER
 AND STAFF.
