and are entitled to the protection and immunity from liability
under the terms of the Mississippi Tort Claims Act. Pursuant
to the Act, the University will provide a defense and indemnity
to all House Officers
against claims for actions or omissions
occurring within the course and scope of their employment
while at UMC and/or on official rotation at other
Mississippi hospitals or clinics. The same protection is
afforded to former house officers for such claims made after
their employment, if the claims
relate to conduct during the
term of their internship, residency, or fellowship. The
University resident professional liability program does not
cover moonlighting.
