Moonlighting Policy
Approved by the GMEAC December 6, 2004

For purposes of this document the term resident will be used for residents and fellows. The term moonlighting means to work for pay outside the requirements and stipend of the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center training program and applies to DHMC residents and fellows only.
General

1. Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center neither encourages nor discourages moonlighting.
2. The resident must have a permanent license to practice medicine in each state where he/she moonlights. A permanent license is different from a training license.
3. The resident must obtain permission to moonlight from Graduate Medical Education and his/her Program Director.
4. Graduate Medical Education and the resident's Program Director must determine that a moonlighting or locum tenens position does not conflict with assigned duties and responsibilities within the training program.
5. The resident's Program Director must sign the Moonlighting Request Form for each moonlighting assignment and may restrict moonlighting based upon training program considerations.
