Licensed physician (or an organized medical staff responsible to the governing body, in lieu of a single named director).
Duties the rule assigns

- Duties/responsibilities delineated in a formal agreement with the governing body
- Involved in developing written medical staff policies approved by the governing body

Notes
Applies to licensed nursing facilities (N.D. Admin. Code art. 33-07-03.2), not ND's separate assisted-living-facility license (art. 75-03-34), which has no medical-director or physician requirement in its text — confirmed by a full-text search of that chapter finding zero hits for either term.
