The University, in encouraging intellectual and professional excellence, understands that in certain instances employees will have the opportunity to engage in other professional employment outside the University. However, the responsibility of all employees is the full and competent performance of all duties pertinent to their employment with the University within the employee’s assigned work schedule and as duties may require. Employment outside the University that interferes with an employee’s obligations, duties, and responsibilities to the University is prohibited. Limitations on outside employment may also be covered under existing employment agreements.
Physicians and other healthcare providers employed by the University must inform their supervisor and receive approval in writing for any employment outside of the University that involves the practice of medicine or provision of healthcare services. Such employees need to secure their own malpractice insurance at their expense for this outside employment. Failure to do so will not be tolerated.
Employees pursuing outside employment must comply with the University’s Conflict of Interest Policy which can be found in the RVU policy repository - DynamicPolicy at https://policies.rvu.edu.
