LMV places significant value on the contributions of healthcare support professionals [e.g.
Physician Assistants (PA),
Nurse Practitioners (NP),
Registered Nurses (RN)] to our healthcare activities.
Such LMV members may work on any trip (OASIS, Mexico, Latin America) as long as they are supervised by a licensed physician. The supervising licensed physician must be one of the following:
- Doctor of Medicine (MD),
- Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO),
- -or- "pasante", a physician assigned to the local village.
The supervising licensed physician must be:
- physically present at the treatment facility,
- immediately available in person,
- -or- immediately available by phone.
The supervising physician may be licensed anywhere in the world, except at OASIS where they must be licensed in California.
