Policy Limiting Attendance by Non-Physicians at ISHRS Meetings
The International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (“ISHRS”) Board of Governors (“Board”) recognizes that the ISHRS’s exempt purpose is advanced by, among other things, providing educational opportunities, training, and courses to physicians and their assistants regarding hair restoration techniques, procedures, and related issues. The Board also recognizes that there have been, and are, physician assistants, and other non-physician personnel, who seek to perform hair restoration techniques and procedures without a physician and/or otherwise outside the scope of their licensure and area of expertise, thereby jeopardizing patient safety. Accordingly, the Board determined that patient safety is advanced and the ISHRS’s exempt purpose is furthered by limiting attendance by non-physicians at ISHRS educational meetings and courses in accordance with this Policy.
- Only physicians and Authorized Non-Physicians (as defined herein) may attend the ISHRS’s Annual Scientific Meeting or any ISHRS sponsored educational courses (“ISHRS Course”). For the purposes of this Policy, Authorized Non-Physicians include only surgical assistants, technicians, and other office personnel employed by an ISHRS Physician Member (as defined in ISHRS’s Bylaws) who attends the same ISHRS Course. For the purposes of this Policy, an Authorized Non-Physician is “employed by” an ISHRS Physician Member only if they have an employer-employee relationship as recognized by law, and the employment is full-time or permanent part-time (i.e., as opposed to an independent contractor, partner, part-time, or temporary service provider, or any other business relationship).
- An Authorized Non-Physician will only be permitted to attend an ISHRS Course if his/her ISHRS Physician Member employer also attends the ISHRS Course and completes and submits a signed Letter of Attestation in the form prescribed by ISHRS verifying their employment. A copy of the current Letter of Attestation required by ISHRS is available on the ISHRS meeting webpage and registration website.
- Falsifying the Letter of Attestation is an ethics violation, and grounds for revoking a Physician Member’s membership.
- Any person or entity who wants to exhibit and/or market their products or services at an ISHRS event may apply for an exhibit booth at the Annual Scientific Meeting or Regional Workshop in accordance with ISHRS’ applicable policies and procedures, but are otherwise precluded from participating in an ISHRS Course unless they are a physician or Authorized Non-Physician.
- It is the ISHRS’s intention to closely monitor attendees and participants at ISHRS Courses to ensure compliance with this Policy. Without limiting the foregoing, the ISHRS’s Bylaws & Ethics Committee will play an active role in proctoring and taking action on any unethical behavior during all ISHRS Courses.
