Connecticut: medical director for a urgent care / walk-in clinic
Whether Connecticut requires a physician medical director for a urgent care / walk-in clinic, the qualifications, duties and the rule it comes from.
Qualifications
Annually designated by the clinic's governing board as part of the medical/dental staff appointment process.
Duties the rule assigns
- Bear the staff-privilege-control and governance responsibilities the clinic's bylaws assign to 'the medical or dental director'
Notes
Applies to a walk-in/urgent care operation licensed as an outpatient clinic 'operated by a corporation or municipality' (Regs. Conn. State Agencies §§ 19-13-D45-.D55a) — the licensing pathway Connecticut's strict corporate-practice-of-medicine rule tends to push non-physician-owned urgent care operators into. A physician-owned practice operating outside this clinic-licensure scheme wasn't confirmed to carry the same requirement.
