Wiki Teaching physicians

[Elizabethchris]

Hi all!

We're an FQHC and are a primary care setting. We have resident's/fellows that come to our facility to see patient's. I know CMS' guidelines are speak about "Teaching Physicians" overseeing residents/fellows, but does the term "Teaching physician" only mean MD/DO or does it also encompass an NP/PA overseeing a resident/fellow?

Thanks!

Only an MD/DO can oversee a resident/fellow
