Physician Contract Language: Hospital Bylaws

In this hospital employment dominant environment it's more important than ever for physicians to have a good understanding of their employment contract prior to signing with the hospital.  Hospital bylaws are another factor to make sure you understand before signing the contract.

Bylaws of a hospital govern the terms of the hospital's medical staff, including staff membership and clinical privileges.  Physicians need to review both their employment contract as well as the hospital's bylaws to understand the full aspects of employment, including what would happen if the physician lost their job or their staff privileges.
