built 654 days ago
"For me, moonlighting has by far been my best educational experience," said third-year Johns Hopkins resident Erik N. DeLue, ACPASIM Associate, who moonlights in a local hospital's emergency department. "For the first time, I don't have anyone over me. I am making my own decisions."

New GME requirements indicate that moonlighting activity must be documented and be available for RRC review. It is ... indicated that residents cannot have over 80 hours of assigned work activity week to include moonlighting time. In compliance with these requirements, each resident shall provide to the Residency Coordinator a monthly record January 1 of moonlighting time, location, and a statement verifying that the moonlighting has not caused more than an 80-hour work week to occur for the respective resident.

If moonlighting occurs outside the home institution and outside sites that are used by the education program, the time does not count toward the 80-hour per week duty hours limit. However, the program director must ensure that the external moonlighting time does not adversely affect the resident’s ability to function within his/her residency program.

While engaged in external moonlighting, residents are NOT covered under the University's professional liability insurance program because they are acting outside the scope of their training Program and University employment. Individual moonlighting residents are responsible for obtaining their own Radiology X-Ray Supervisor and Operator certificate, professional liability insurance coverage (either independently or through the entity for which they are moonlighting), DEA licensure, Medicare (or other governmental) provider number and billing training, licensure by the California Medical Board, and any other requirements for clinical privileging at the employment site.
