Popis: Moonlighting is a widespread practice among residents in family practice programs. It is thought that many residents fail to appreciate the problems that moonlighting may pose with respect to liability insurance.A survey regarding liability insurance instruction and moonlighting insurance was sent to the chief resident of each family practice residency program (380) in the United States. An overall response rate of 78.7% was achieved.Chief residents appear to have limited knowledge about liability insurance, believe that education about liability insurance in the residency program is inadequate, and are not well informed regarding liability insurance issues related to moonlighting.Information regarding professional liability insurance and its implications for the resident who chooses to moonlight should be a part of the practice management curriculum of every residency program.
