The duties of a house physician are variable in different institutions but, in general, a house physician is to assist in conducting the professional work of the hospital by writing histories, doing and recording physical examinations, performing laboratory work, and such other functions as the medical staff feels are within the house physician’s capabilities, such functions to be performed under the direct supervision of a physician who has an active Florida license to practice medicine. For purposes of this rule “”direct supervision”” means that the supervising physician must be physically present on the premises so that the supervising physician is immediately available when needed.
