Are University physicians covered for activities outside of University facilities?
Physicians, surgeons, and dentists are covered for medical malpractice for all licensed professional activities of a medical nature wherever performed so long as those activities are performed within the course and scope of University employment. Business and Finance Bulletin (BUS-9) provides examples of approval and documentation required to demonstrate the activities conducted were done within the course and scope of University employment. Interns, residents, and fellows are only covered for activities performed within the scope of their formal program and approved affiliations.
