In Full Support / The Ethical Thing to Do
 

I am in full support of this. My time was taken advantage of as a free intern in grad school, but I was willing to overlook this, as the experience was necessary for my growth and education. My supervisor even boasted about pocketing more than 100k for my services back then. The cycle of reliance for payment should be broken at the resident level. If providers can see patients alone and at a different site from their supervisors, they should be allowed to directly bill for their services. Other states have provided a great example of this. This would be the best ethical thing to do!
