employee business mileage deduction

Can a surgeon who is required by her employer to make bi-weekly trips to an offsite clinic allowed to deduct the extra business mileage incurred?  Where is it reported on Form 1040?

Not on the federal return.

But the employer does not.  So is it deductible on her Form 1040?

Thanks for your response.

Ok, go ahead and deduct it, but I think you are going to have trouble finding someplace to park it since employee business expenses disappeared along with miscellaneous itemized deductions a few years ago now.
