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?

The employer ought to reimburse her.

The more I know, the more I don't know.

why not?

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.
