Physician Oversight

Meaning

Physician Oversight is the professional, non-delegable clinical responsibility of a licensed medical doctor to comprehensively supervise, direct, and assume ultimate accountability for a patient’s entire diagnostic and therapeutic management plan. This essential element of care ensures that all health interventions, particularly complex hormonal therapies and advanced testing protocols, are executed safely, ethically, and in strict accordance with established medical standards of practice. It provides a crucial, legally mandated layer of safety, expertise, and clinical accountability for the patient.
