Section XLV-1508 - Qualifications for Registration as Supervising Physician

A. To be eligible for approval and registration under this Chapter, a proposed primary supervising physician or locum tenens physician shall, as of the date of the application:

1. be licensed to practice medicine in the state of Louisiana; and

2. have been in the active practice of medicine for not less than three years following the date on which the physician was awarded a doctor of medicine or doctor of osteopathy degree and not currently be engaged in a medical residency or other post graduate training program. The board may, in its discretion, grant an exception to the requirement for completion of all post graduate training on a case-by-case basis where the supervising physician applicant is enrolled in fellowship or other advanced training and it has been shown to the board's satisfaction that the applicant has completed all training relevant to his or her designated area of practice; and

3. not be employed by or serve as an independent contractor to a physician assistant or be a party to any other or similar employment, contractual or financial relationship. The board may, in its discretion, grant an exception to this requirement on a case-by-case basis where it has been shown to its satisfaction that such relationship is structured so as to prohibit interference or intrusion into the physician's relationship with patients, his exercise of independent medical judgment and satisfaction of the obligations and responsibilities imposed by law and the board's rules on a supervising physician.

B. The burden of satisfying the board as to the eligibility of the proposed supervising physician for approval and registration shall be upon the proposed supervising physician.
