For an Allied Health Professional to be authorized to perform clinical functions, he or she must meet the following general qualifications: 1

2 1.

In the event an applying AHP does not meet the necessary qualifications, then such person is ineligible to apply for clinical functions, and the CMO shall notify the applicant of his/her ineligibility to receive clinical functions. A determination that an AHP does not meet the necessary qualifications does not entitle the applicant to seek or request a hearing or other form of due process which may be provided by applicable bylaws, policies, or procedures. 4.
