| Bylaws or policies and procedures should accommodate physicians called to active duty |
| Given the extremely high cost of a medical education, it is not surprising that a significant number of physicians choose to join the military reserves in part to get assistance with medical school costs. Because many hospitals will likely face a situation whereby a medical staff member must leave for a tour of duty, it is wise to review your facility's bylaws and/or policies and procedures to ensure that the process in place is workable and fair, says Atlanta-based independent medical affairs consultant Teresa P. Sappington, CPMSM, CPCS, CPHQ, CAPPM. If the process at your facility is unnecessarily burdensome, consider revising it to make the physician's departure and reentry simpler. |
