IMQ Seeks Primary Care Docs for Review Committees
The Institute for Medical Quality (IMQ), a subsidiary of the CMA, is seeking primary care physicians, board certified in either Family Practice or Internal Medicine, to serve on Judicial Review Committees (JRC) for the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR). These review committees hear evidence regarding the quality of care provided by a CDCR physician.  Interested physicians must be available to serve for 5 consecutive days, once or twice per year.  Hearings will be scheduled in various geographic locations in California, most probably in Sacramento, Los Angeles, and San Diego.  IMQ physicians credentialed to serve on JRC panels will be employed as Special Consultants to the State, and will be afforded civil liability protection to the same extent as any of Special Consultant.  Physicians will be paid on an hourly basis for their time and reimbursed travel expenses.  Please contact Leslie Anne Iacopi by phone (415-882-5167) or by email (liacopi@imq.org) if you are interested.
