MSSNY adopts as policy that a physician who provides certification to a malpractice lawsuit in a certificate of merit should be board certified in the same specialty in the field called into question and licensed to practice in New York State; that a physician who provides certification to a malpractice lawsuit be required to sign a formal certification statement, and that their identity and credentials be clearly noted on this statement; and that these certifying statements be provided to the Court and to the physician who is sued so they can be verified.
