Courtesy Staff

Members of the Telemedicine Staff will be placed in other staff categories if they provide patient care services while physically located at the Hospital.

Clinical Coverage Providers
Consists of any licensed physician, such as a Resident or Fellow, employed or contracted part time by the Hospital to perform duties in a specialty under the supervision of specific members of the Medical Staff, but who perform these duties outside the scope of an approved Residency or Fellowship program. 

Advanced Practice Providers
