shall review the request for clinical privileges and any supporting documentation, comment
and/or recommend approval or disapproval of requested core and supplemental privileges,

10. AUXILIARIST'S RESPONSIBILITIES.
a. While performing official duties, the Auxiliarist accepts responsibility to perform only those
operational/primary medical care activities for which he/she has been authorized.
b. Although Auxiliarists may be credentialed and privileged by the Coast Guard to perform
multiple operational/primary medical care activities, limitations of the facility may result in the
clinic's SMO/SDO restricting the performance of certain tasks. Performance of tasks beyond
the scope of the duties authorized by the SMO/SDO may expose the Coast Guard Auxiliarist
health care provider to civil liability.
c. The Auxiliarist must at all times adhere to USCG administrative policies.
d. The Auxiliarist is responsible, at his/her own expense, to perform all of those activities required
