Parkland Hospital Sample Contract Letter

Malpractice Insurance:

Malpractice coverage is provided by participating hospitals on all house officers beginning the first day of their residency. The malpractice plan provides for $100,000 per claim for residents with an annual aggregate per plan participant of $1,500,000. The incidence of malpractice suits in Dallas is relatively low compared to the rest of the United States , and particularly low for those individuals associated with teaching hospitals.

Life Insurance and Hospitalization:

Parkland Health and Hospital System currently provides group hospitalization insurance and long-term disability insurance to all house officers through a self-insured group plan. Dependent coverage (spouse and children) is available. All premiums are deducted from the monthly paycheck. Coverage remains with the same carrier at all times. A group life plan is provided at no expense to contracted, remunerated members of the Parkland house staff.
