GetMeOuttaThisMess Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 So much for trying to do something nice to help someone else. My wife's dental hygiene department needed someone to review FIT testing questionnaires and since I had done the actual testing in the past I thought I could make it easy, review the questionnaire, and then if there were any issues refer the student to their PCP for clarification. Not providing care, just reviewing a form. Program director I was told was ecstatic that I could help them out. I was reading another forum thread here last night regarding licensure so I was at the TMB site reading through some material. Though I still have an active license, without a physician collaboration, my reviewing these forms would be considered "practicing medicine" in Texas so it would appear to be a no-go. They just won't let you help. I told my wife that if there were a natural disaster then I'm more than qualified to help without a physician collaboration but not apparently to review a health questionnaire. Ugh...

sas5814 Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Its Texas. A bunch of old dinosaurs deep in the pocket of the state medical society also a bunch of old dinosaurs. Nothing they say or do surprises me anymore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GetMeOuttaThisMess Posted September 3, 2020 Author Share Posted September 3, 2020 Got a response to my clarification request (knowing the answer was “no” w/o a physician affiliation) and what do i receive? Links to the state PA guidelines. Figures. I responded stating I had reviewed those and was looking for a clarifying statement. It’s a shame that I’m licensed and can’t review simple questionnaires. It isn’t worth asking one of my former clinic SP’s to throw me an hour of supervision/week to do these reviews.

thinkertdm Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 In many states, an NP, with less linical training, could do it. An RN, even. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because RNs don't report to SBMEs....they report to nursing boards.....and you know those nursing boards are all about expanding practice/financial opportunities and they have no doctors to tell them "No". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
