Board adopts position statement on physician scope of practice

At its March meeting, the NC Medical Board adopted a new position statement on physician scope of practice.

The statement resulted from a public meeting held in fall 2010, in which the Board’s Special Task Force on Practice Drift met with a variety of stakeholders; including representatives from professional liability insurance companies, physician professional groups and others.

The Board defines practice drift as the outflow of physicians from areas in which they were trained into new areas of practice.
