Fucked Over by my GME
I’m kind of asking for advice here, or if anyone has ever had a similar issue.
I graduated from an EM residency program this year in June. I was a transfer student because my last program closed down the year prior.
I’m trying to get hired at the same hospital I graduated from, as well as some affiliated freestandings in the area, and I’ve run into an issue.
There’s a possibility they ‘forgot’ to insure me for medical malpractice the whole year I was there. The compliance coordinator is asking for a certificate of insurance, and both the sponsoring university and the hospital are saying they don’t have records of it anywhere. I’m waiting for the director of GME to get back to me but I don’t have high hopes.
How boned am I? Is there anything I can do here? Is this gonna impact my ability to work elsewhere too??? I’m running out of funds cause it’s been so long since I’ve graduated. I don’t really have the cash to afford a lawyer and I would hesitate to sue anyway since it’s a VERY large company.
