| DESCRIPTION |
The supervising practitioner is not physically present in the operative
or procedural suite, but is in the facility or on the VA campus. The
supervising practitioner is immediately available for resident
supervision or consultation as needed. Local policy, as approved by the
VISN Academic Affiliations Officer, should define the standard for
"availability" of the supervising practitioner. NOTE: The service chief
and chief of staff are responsible for periodically reviewing cases
done under Level 3 supervision.
