PROCESSING PHYSICIAN PRACTITIONERS THROUGH MSO VS GME

Medical Staff Office
Effective 10/22/08

PROCEDURE: Processing Physician Practitioners Through MSO vs GME

1. If a physician practitioner is at MUSC as a trainee (under supervision in an accredited or non-accredited program), then the practitioner should be processed through the GME Office.
   
2. If a physician practitioner will be functioning independently (without supervision), then the practitioner should be processed through the MSO.
   
3. If part of the time the practitioner will function as a supervised trainee and part of the time will function independently, then the practitioner should be processed through BOTH the MSO and GME. *
   
4. The above is to be followed regardless of whether a physician:
   - does or does not have a faculty appointment
   - will be paid or unpaid
   - will or will not be billing for services
   - has a limited, academic, or full medical license.  

*  Note:

a.  If the physician practitioner is attending faculty orientation, then GME orientation is waived.

b.  The GME Office needs to be given a letter indicating the physician practitioner's area of training, dates of training and the designated supervising physician.

c.  A copy of the departmental/faculty contract needs to be submitted to the GME Office.  There will be no additional GME contract for the trainee unless it is deemed necessary.
