Section 16: Liability Insurance and Risk Management Programs

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:

Emory University Hospital and Emory Children's Center
Phone: 404.686.2470
Fax: 404.712.7941

Emory University Hospital Midtown
Phone: 404.686.2470

Currently, Emory residents assigned to Grady Memorial Hospital , VA Medical Center, CHOA at Egleston and Scottish Rite Hospitals are insured by the hosting institution, rather than by Emory Healthcare.

Verification of coverage must be requested in writing to Emory Healthcare, Office of Risk and Insurance Services, 101 W. Ponce de Leon Ave., Suite 242, Decatur, GA 30030. The email address is: claims.history@emoryhealthcare.org.

Requests for individual claims history information should be made in writing to Emory Healthcare, Office of Risk and Insurance Services, 101 W. Ponce de Leon Ave., Suite 242, Decatur, GA 30030. Phone number (404) 778-7939, claims.history@emoryhealthcare.org. Appropriate authorization must accompany the request.
