238. The decision of the board of directors to accept or refuse a physician’s or dentist’s application for appointment shall take into account the organization plan of the institution, the number of physicians and dentists authorized in the medical and dental staffing plan, the resources available, the specific requirements of the institution and, where applicable, the supra-regional vocation of the institution as determined by the Minister under section 112.
The board of directors may also refuse a physician’s or dentist’s application for appointment on the basis of the fact that the physician or dentist, in the course of the three preceding years, has failed to give the council the prior notice required under section 254.
The board of directors may also refuse a physician’s or dentist’s application for appointment on the basis of criteria of qualifications, scientific competence or conduct of the physician or dentist, having regard to the specific requirements of the institution.
An application for renewal of appointment may be refused by the board of directors only on the basis of criteria of qualifications, scientific competence or conduct of the physician or dentist, having regard to the specific requirements of the institution, and fulfilment of the obligations attached to the enjoyment of the privileges granted. However, such an application may also be refused if the conditions prescribed by a regulation made under paragraph 3 of section 506 for granting a status cannot be met.
If the institution operates a centre designated as a university hospital centre or university institute, the board of directors must also consult the university with which the institution is affiliated and, in addition, before accepting or refusing an application, take into account the distribution of the clinical, research and teaching tasks among the physicians, having regard to the specific requirements of the institution.
