Ariz. Admin. Code § R4-7-1002 - Practice Limitations

A. Under the supervision of the preceptor and commensurate with the extern's education, training, and experience, an extern may engage in the practice of health care, as defined in A.R.S. § 32-925, except that an extern shall not perform any procedure defined as a chiropractic specialty requiring certification unless the extern and the preceptor have met the eligibility requirements in R4-7-1001 for that specialty.

B. At all times when patients may be present, the extern shall wear a badge showing the extern's name and the title "Extern" in capital letters equal in size to the name.

C. Before an extern conducts an examination or renders care to a patient, the preceptor shall secure from the patient a written consent to the examination or care. The written consent shall specify that the patient understands that an extern is not a licensed doctor, and that the preceptor retains responsibility for quality of care. The preceptor shall maintain the signed consent as a part of the patient's file.
