Successful completion of an ACGME or AOA accredited residency in Internal Medicine and a Fellowship in Cardiology. BOARD CERTIFICATION: Board certified in Cardiology. Applicants who are not board certified in Cardiology, but are in the board certification process, are allowed to perform core privileges provided they completed an ACGME or AOA residency program in the United States and become certified or remain eligible. GRANDFATHER CLAUSE: Exceptions to the board certification/eligibility requirement will be made for those practitioners who have held privileges at Renown Regional Medical Center prior to 7/06. CONTINUING MEDICAL EDUCATON: Provide CME in accordance with the requirements of the State of Nevada for maintenance of Nevada State Medical License. REQUIRED PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE: At least 50 cardiology patients, reflective of the scope of privileges requested, in the past 12 months OR The successful completion of an approved ACGME or AOA residency or clinical fellowship within the past 12 months. Board certification or eligibility must be continuously maintained. MENTORING/PROCTORING Each Associate Staff member will be assigned a mentor/proctor. Qualified applicants are granted privileges and must be proctored/mentored as indicated within this document by a physician with these privileges. All procedures should be performed at a Joint Commission Accredited hospital and mentored/proctored by your assigned mentor/proctor.

For special privileges that have not previously been available at this facility and require proctoring, proctoring may be done at another facility by a proctor with said privileges and the proctoring physician will be required to produce documentation of the procedures and the Renown physician will help ensure this is completed. REAPPOINTMENT REQUIREMENTS: During reappointment all objectively generated data from the quality assurance/peer review process relevant to these privileges will be considered. Reappointment should be based on unbiased, objective results of care according to a hospital s quality assurance mechanism. To be eligible to renew privileges in cardiovascular disease (cardiology), the applicant must demonstrate current competence and an adequate volume of experience with acceptable results, reflective of the scope of privileges requested, for the past 24 months based on results of ongoing professional practice evaluation and outcomes.
