  1. Must be trained on operating room / clinical environment protocol.
  2. May only enter an operating room/clinical environment upon permission from appropriate members of the medical staff of the facility and with written consent from the patient concerned;
  3. Must wear appropriate attire as provided or permitted by the facility.
