Every patient seen in an emergency department in Ohio must be the medical responsibility of a physician properly licensed in Ohio. The holder of a training certificate issued pursuant section 4731.291 of the Revised Code may perform duties in the emergency department within the provisions of Section 4731.291 of the Revised Code, which requires that the certificate holder shall limit activities to the programs of the hospitals or facilities for which the training certificate is issued, shall perform only duties that are a part of the training program and shall practice only under the supervision of the physicians responsible for supervision as part of the internship, residency, or clinical fellowship program for which the certificate was issued.
