Exceptions to such coverage are acts or omissions in the course of activities not within the scope of the House Staff's University duties and/or acts or omissions resulting from actual fraud, corruption, malice, or criminal negligence. House Staff contacted by attorneys or others regarding malpractice suits must immediately notify the Medical Center Risk Management Department who will advise on how to respond or coordinate the response on their behalf.
