Moonlighting Physicians

The opportunity to moonlight at Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children is available to qualifying pediatric orthopaedic fellows. You are not authorized to moonlight if you are here on a J-1 Visa. Please contact Phyllis Cuesta in Orthopaedics if you have questions about TSRHC’s moonlighting opportunities.

Credentialing Requirements to Moonlight at TSRHC

• Obtain a Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) certificate. You must have your Texas medical license and DEA certificate before you can apply for this certificate. Application forms can be obtained at www.txdps.state.tx.us.
