Guideline §482.98(a)
The designated director of a transplant program must be either a transplant surgeon credentialed
in the hospital for transplant surgeries or a qualified physician. Qualified physician means a
physician that is credentialed in the hospital to provide transplant medical services for the
specific organ program type.
Serving as the director on a less than full time basis means that the director may continue his/her
clinical responsibilities in addition to his/her role in general supervision of the program.
