Private Practice
Sought for Faculty
By Elaine King
Of The Times Staff
Drafting of a plan under
which doctors on the fulltime
faculty at Louisiana State
University School of Medicine
in Shreveport could enter
private practice is under way,
Dean Clifford G. Grulee said
Friday.
"A very preliminary first
draft" is expected to be
completed in about three
weeks for presentation to the
task force studying the
proposal, he said. The task
force will review the plan.
The final plan will be
approved by faculty members
also before it is submitted to
the University board, Dr.
Grulee said. Target date for
the plan to be submitted to the
board is in the spring.
The 10-member task force
includes members from the
medical community and the
faculty, he said.
John Kasionic, consultant
from Seattle, has been
retained to help draft the
plan, Dr. Grulee said. Cost for
the consulting service is about
$26,000 and is being financed
on about a 50-50 basis by
private gifts and university
funds, he said.
Currently physiciaas on the
fulltime faculty at the medical
school do not engage in
private practice. That stems
from an arrangement made
prior to his assuming the
deanship, Dr. Grulee said.
One of the terms of his
acceptance, the dean added,
was that a plan be devised to
allow the physiciaas "earn
appropriate sums from
professional services" that
"reflect the balance" between
a professional practice and
teaching and research
activities.
A physician can not teach
patient care without doing it,
Dr. Grulee added. If the
medical school intends to
develop the "excellence of
faculty it is committed to,'' it
will be necessary, the dean
said, to boost the faculty
salaries with at least "limited
earnings."
The intent of a private
practice plan, Dr. Grulee
said, is not "opened - ended
competition in private
practice."
A private practice plan was
approved for the medical
school in New Orleans in the
past few months, which might
help obtain approval of a
similar plan for Shreveport,
the dean said.
