150.983 Faculty/Staff Appointments at Medical Schools:
MSSNY supports having the New York State Department of Health develop regulations or legislation that would prevent a hospital from requiring a member of its voluntary staff to resign or accept a faculty appointment at a medial school as a condition of appointment to the medical staff, and is petitioning the New York State Department of Education to take all steps necessary to encourage the development of an adjunct faculty line at each medical school which would permit physicians to hold more than one medical school faculty appointment. (HOD 1993-131; Modified and reaffirmed HOD 2014)
MSSNY adopted the policy that it is inappropriate for any hospital to require a member of its voluntary staff to resign a faculty appointment at a medical school as a condition of appointment or reappointment. MSSNY supports the development of an adjunct faculty line at each medical school in New York State that could be used to permit physicians to hold more than one medical school faculty appointment. It has adopted as policy that it is inappropriate for a hospital or medical school to deny a physician an appointment or reappointment to its voluntary staff because that physician already holds a position at another medical school. (HOD 1992-88; Reaffirmed HOD 2014)
