Residents enrolled in a GME sponsored residency training program are provided with professional and general liability insurance for activities falling within the course and scope of their training program. The Emory Liability Program also responds to a claim made after a resident leaves the training program, so long as the claim arises out of an activity that fell within the course and scope of the training program.
The Emory Liability Program will not respond to a claim arising out of an incident or activity that precedes the resident's enrollment in the Emory training program even if the claim is made once the resident has begun his or her training at Emory.
Residents rotating within the Emory system have a responsibility to report any adverse occurrence or circumstance to an Emory Healthcare Risk Manager as well as their Program Director and Department Chair.
A Risk Manager can be contacted at the following numbers, after hours and weekends call the paging operator at 404-686-1000 and ask for the Risk Manager on call:
