Rocky Vista University provides professional liability (malpractice) insurance for certain healthcare provider employees. This coverage only extends to approved, University-related activities. Employees who wish to practice medicine outside of RVU must receive written permission from the appropriate Dean or Provost and provide current and up-to-date proof of their own malpractice coverage for those activities.
Employees are covered by RVU’s general liability insurance package. Employees who are acting in their official capacity will be indemnified and held harmless from any claim related to their scope of duties, including judgments, costs, and attorney’s fees. Employees are NOT covered for conduct that is grossly negligent, reckless, willful, or illegal, and such conduct may result in disciplinary action up to and including dismissal.
