Residents Manual
Professional Activities Outside the Scope of the Residency Training (including but not limited to Moonlighting)
The resident will accept no responsibilities for professional activities outside the scope of the Residency Program provided herein (including, but not limited to "moonlighting") unless approved in writing by the Affiliated Hospital and the Program Director, who shall have discretion as to whether or not such outside professional activities are permitted. Residents must not be required to engage in “moonlighting.” With regard to those residency programs in which outside professional activities may be permitted, the following guidelines shall apply:
- The professional activities must be of educational value;
- The Physician has the appropriate training and skills to carry out assigned duties;
- The professional activities must have the approval of the Program Director;
- The program director must acknowledge in writing that he/she is aware that the resident is moonlighting, and a copy of that acknowledgement must be included in the resident’s file;
- The professional activities must have approval of the Affiliated Hospital;
- The Physician must hold a valid permanent (unrestricted) license and an NPI;
- The Physician must provide proof of professional liability (malpractice) insurance other than that provided by the Affiliated Hospital for the Residency Program; and
- The Physician must provide proof of a signed HIPAA Business Agreement between the moonlighting site and the ACGME.
- The professional activities must not detract from the Residency Program or interfere in any way with the educational experience, performance or responsibilities of the Physician. The program director must monitor the physician for the effect of moonlighting activities upon performance. Adverse effects may lead to withdrawal of permission.
- Internal moonlighting must be counted toward the 80 hour weekly limit on duty hours.
- Residents must either be a U.S. citizen or have a permanent work permit (employment authorization) to moonlight. Residents with J-1 visas are not permitted to moonlight in accordance with Dept. of Homeland Security regulations.
