S.C. Code Ann. § 40-47-33 – Academic license; qualifications; responsibility of dean for compliance with practice limitations

(A) The issuance of an academic license is initiated by a written request from the dean of the medical school outlining the candidate's credentials, proposed role at the academic institution, and the reasons for requesting an exception to the usual course of permanent licensure. The candidate shall meet the following requirements:
1. (1) The individual must have the rank of assistant professor or higher.
2. (2) The individual must have established academic credentials and a compelling reason to be invited by the dean.
3. (3) The academic license may be used only in the educational setting or in a training program associated with the medical school.
4. (4) Use of the academic license is limited to the designated practice site only. It is not for independent practice or "moonlighting" situations.
(B) In that an academic license is issued at the dean's request for his accommodation, the dean is professionally responsible under Section 40-47-110 for the academic licensee's compliance with the limitations of practice under an academic license.
