MODERATE
This bill establishes a new process for nonresident physicians to receive temporary training in South Dakota without needing a state license. The law allows nonresident doctors to train for up to 90 days under direct supervision of a licensed South Dakota physician, provided they register with the state board, show proof of malpractice insurance, and pay a $50 fee. This change expands access to training opportunities for out-of-state physicians while maintaining oversight through the State Board of Medical and Osteopathic Examiners.
Scope change
The bill adds new scope by creating a specific pathway for nonresident physicians to practice temporarily in South Dakota for training purposes, which previously did not exist under these conditions.
ELIGIBILITY
Creates eligibility for nonresident physicians with unrestricted licenses from other states to receive temporary training in South Dakota for 90 days or less without obtaining a state license.
REQUIREMENT
Requires nonresident physicians to register with the State Board of Medical and Osteopathic Examiners, provide malpractice insurance proof, and pay a $50 fee before beginning training.
DEFINITION
Defines 'direct supervision' as the supervising physician being physically present and readily available in the same facility as the nonresident physician.
ENFORCEMENT
Amends existing section 36-4-40 to clarify that nonresident physicians training under this new provision are subject to the same supervision and discipline as licensed South Dakota physicians.
