150.994                 Termination of Hospital Privileges Based on Age of Physician:

MSSNY opposes mandatory termination of hospital privileges based solely upon the age of the physician, and takes the position that age should not be used as a criterion in judging the character or competency of the physician.  (HOD 1986-23; Reaffirmed HOD 2013; Reaffirmed HOD 2023)
