Section 440

Not in force
440. A territorial department is directed by a physician appointed by a parity committee formed under section 441, from among the three physicians elected by the members of the department to the department’s supervisory committee. The parity committee determines the appointed physician’s term of office, which may not exceed four years.
The parity committee may, if it has serious reasons to do so, have the physician directing the territorial department relieved from duty and, after consultation with the supervisory committee, replaced by another physician who is a member of that committee.
The physician appointed under the first paragraph is called “medical director of family medicine” or “medical director of specialized medicine” depending on whether the physician directs the territorial department of family medicine or the territorial department of specialized medicine.
