Can a non doctor be an owner of a medical practice with a doctor? Is there an ethical issue here? Are there any applicable Medical Board policies that regulate this?|||Sure. Some doctors will open a practice an have a receptionist, a staff nurse or nursing assistant who can practice within the scope of their practice as defined by state law, or even a nurse practitioner who can see patients or a physician's assistant. No ethical issues as long as everyone stays within the scope of practice for their profession.|||It depends what part of the world you live in.
Yes, in some parts of the world, a private clinic can be owned and managed by non-clinicians.
Yes, there could be ethical dilemmas if the clinic is run contrary to the clinicians' principles.
In Victoria, Australia, the medical practitioner takes all responsibility for clinical undertakings in the eyes of the Medical Board.
