( b) An individual may request an exception to this requirement( i. e., for limited clinical privileges within a core or specialty). The request must indicate the specific clinical privileges within the core or specialty that the individual does not wish to provide, state a basis for the request, and include evidence that the individual does not provide the patient care services in any health care facility in that area and has no intention of doing so in the future.
( c) A request for limited clinical privileges will be reviewed by the relevant department chair, Credentials Committee, MEC, and Board.
( d) The following factors, among others, may be considered in deciding whether to grant limited privileges:
( 1) the Hospital’ s mission and ability to serve the health care needs of the community by providing timely, appropriate care;
( 2) the effect of the request on the Hospital’ s ability to comply with applicable regulatory requirements, including the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act;
( 3) the expectations of members who rely on the specialty;( 4) fairness to the individual requesting the waiver;
( 5) fairness to other Medical Staff members who serve on the call roster in the relevant specialty, including the effect that the modification would have on them; and
( 6) the potential for gaps in call coverage that might result from an individual’ s removal from the call roster and the feasibility of safely transferring patients to other facilities.
( e) No one is entitled to be granted limited clinical privileges, and denial of such a request does not trigger a right to a hearing or appeal.
4. A. 3. Resignation of Limited Clinical Privileges:

4. A. 4. Resignation of Appointment and Clinical Privileges:
A request to resign all clinical privileges should specify the desired date of resignation. 4. A. 5. Clinical Privileges for New Procedures:
