Abstract

Residents are graduating from training programs and they may not be aware that there are different types of malpractice insurance; thus, they may simply not be in positions to comprehend the personal financial liability they could incur if their contracts are not structured appropriately. This chapter will discuss the two types of malpractice insurance and provide you with the advantages and disadvantages of both forms of malpractice coverage. The second part of the chapter will cover the insurance benefits that should be included in your contract with your employer or with the practice that you join.
