Malpractice
All residents and fellows registered with the Graduate Medical Education Office, regardless of the source of funding, are provided professional liability insurance by the State of Arizona through a self insurance program (revolving fund) established per Arizona Revised Statutes 41-621. This insurance program does not have an insurance policy number other than the referenced statute. This coverage is provided for all activities carried out in the performance of the residency and/or fellowship training duties as defined by the program regardless of location. Because the coverage is a statutory obligation of the State of Arizona, there are no specified dollar limits of coverage. Furthermore, the coverage does not expire, and is applicable to any occurrence made in the future arising from the residency and/or fellowship training activity. Management of the statutory coverage program is assigned to the Arizona Department of Administration, Risk Management Section. Legal defense of claims is provided by the Liability Management Unit of the Arizona Attorney General's Office. If further information is needed, please do not hesitate to contact Diane Bigelow in the GME Office at (520) 626-7878 or the University of Arizona's Risk Management Director, Steve Holland, at (520) 621-1556.
