Abstract
The South Carolina Board of Medical Examiners (“Board”) Board does not license or regulate
corporations. However, the Board has well-established expectations concerning the economic
relationships within which its licensees may practice. The physician’s professional judgment must be independently
exercised, regardless of the economic relationship or business form involved. Licensees are subject
to all provisions of the Medical Practice Act regardless of the economic relationship or corporate
form in which they practice. Licensees may not employ or permit unlicensed persons to practice
medicine.
