COVID-19 expanded permission for moonlighting beyond outpatient clinics and EDs – into hospital inpatient units. As a result, interest in moonlighting is up. Way up! Along with that 
comes an expressed interest in ensuring that moonlighting is implemented safely and in a manner that causes the least distraction from training programs. What role does the Medical Staff play in ensuring moonlighting services are provided safely? Join us for the July installment of Grand Rounds to learn more about how to safely and lawfully take advantage of moonlighting within your hospital. 

Topics to be covered include: 
1. Credentialing and privileging of residents and fellows who apply to work outside the scope of their training programs – Do these practitioners actually need clinical privileges? 
Who defines the scope of practice? Who is in charge of credentialing and granting approvals? 

2. The role of faculty and program directors in supervising and/or evaluating moonlighting practitioners’ exercise of privileges. Do faculty have to approve privileges? Who manages any concerns that are raised about a moonlighting resident? 

3. Does a trainee license qualify an individual for moonlighting? What about malpractice insurance? 

4. What happens if a moonlighting resident or fellow is placed on probation or remediation in the training program? Does that affect their moonlighting duties?
