216B.017 Health facility not to discriminate against physician on basis of degree in

medicine or osteopathy.

Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no health facility licensed in the

Commonwealth shall discriminate with respect to employment, staff, privileges, or the

provision of professional services against a physician licensed to practice medicine on the

basis of whether the physician holds a medical doctor (M.D.) or doctor of osteopathy

(D.O.) degree.
