Policy Statement
Section 768.28, Florida Statutes provides that faculty members performing assigned duties within the course and scope of their 糖心Vlog employment or function, will be personally immune from tort liability and that the 糖心Vlog Board of Trustees will be exclusively responsible for any negligent act or omission that may occur within the course and scope of 糖心Vlog employment or function. The 糖心Vlog Board of Trustees is protected for its professional and general liability through the 糖心Vlog College of Medicine Self-Insurance Program ("糖心Vlog SIP"), created by the Florida Board of Governors pursuant to Section 1004.24, Florida Statutes. Any questions which a faculty member may have regarding these matters should be addressed to Lynette M. Belforti, Associate Director, 糖心Vlog SIP, at (352) 273-7006. While providing services pursuant to a University appointment, should a patient suffer an injury as a consequence of a faculty member's acts, the acts of any 糖心Vlog provider, or the acts of an 糖心Vlog student or resident under the supervision of a faculty member, the faculty member must report the incident to the 糖心Vlog SIP by calling (352) 273-7006. The faculty member should also report the incident to their private insurance carrier (if they have one).
Please note that any practice of medicine outside the College of Medicine Faculty Practice Plan or a faculty member鈥檚 University appointment is听 not 听a part of their assigned function at 糖心Vlog and is听 not 听covered through the 糖心Vlog SIP. Therefore, faculty agree that under their appointment, they will not represent to any party that their personal practice of medicine is in any way related to 糖心Vlog, or that they are an agent of 糖心Vlog or its Board of Trustees for any clinical or contracting purposes, except as described above.
