This act would authorize physicians licensed in other states and countries who travel with out-of-state sports teams to Delaware for sporting events to provide medical care to those teams, coaches, and their families during those events. By doing so, it will help traveling athletes receive care from physicians they know and have been treated by in the past. Such visiting physicians would be prohibited from providing medical care to any other person residing in or present in Delaware except in an emergency. This temporary exemption from licensure for visiting team physicians would not authorize that person to practice medicine in a hospital or other health care facility, and it would be limited to ten days per sporting event unless extended by the Executive Director of the Board of Medical Licensure and Discipline.

An Act To Amend Title 24 Of The Delaware Code Relation To The Medical Practice Act.
