A properly trained physician should do Mohs surgery and an RN doing the procedure is not appropriate.
No, an RN doing MOHS is not approproate. This is a complex procedure that should only be performed by a board-certified dermatologist.
I don't think so!!!!! It would however depend on your state medical laws, but I would never delegate this aspect of the procedure to a non-physician. Dr. Malouf
Absolutely not. Mohs needs to and can only be performed by Mohs skin cancer surgeons. RNs are not surgeons and cannot have this licensing. If a physician's office is willing to do this, I would find another office immediately. It is against all medical ethics, not to mention insurance fraud!
I would think it would be inappropriate for any non-MD to be doing a Moh's procedure. I would expect the doctor to be doing it if it were my skin cancer being removed.
