| Nothing contained in this This chapter may not be construed to |
prohibit an individual from rendering medical services, if these |
services are rendered under the supervision and control of a |
physician or surgeon, and if that individual has satisfactorily |
completed a training program approved by the Board of Licensure |
in Medicine and a competency examination determined by this |
board. Supervision and control may not be construed as requiring |
the personal presence of the supervising and controlling |
physician at the place where these services are rendered, unless |
a physical presence is necessary to provide patient care of the |
same quality as provided by the physician. Nothing in this This |
chapter may not be construed as prohibiting a physician or |
surgeon from delegating to the physician's or surgeon's employees |
certain activities relating to medical care and treatment carried |
out by custom and usage when the activities are under the direct |
control of and in the personal presence of the physician or |
surgeon who must be present on the premises at the time the |
activities are performed. The physician delegating these |
activities to employees, to program graduates or to participants |
in an approved training program is legally liable for the |
activities of those individuals, and any individual in this |
relationship is considered the physician's agent. Nothing |
contained in this This section may not be construed to apply to |
registered nurses acting pursuant to chapter 31. |
