something to help me find out the qualification and experiences of a doctor.
A prestigeous hospital of a big city set up a small clinic in a satelite town to accomadate the medical needs of the community. It's all good, but I wonder if the doctors/physicians are independently hired on within the local community (the little town itself), and have no direct work connection with the hospital. How do I ask it, or what word/phrase do I use, if I want to know specificaly if these doctors are, or have been, regular doctors from the hospital, say, in this sentence structure?
Are the doctors _______________?
Of course other options are welcome too. I just thought this is the simplest.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks GG. That'd sure cover it. But not to push the issue, is there a more subtle word to indicate a prior employment with the hospital, meaning that they have worked at the hospital for a while and thus have enhanced their experiences and knowledge as a doctor.
