No, You Do Not Need to Get Malpractice Insurance
This article has caused some concern that physicians need to obtain malpractice insurance:
I’ve confirmed with BUMED Legal that we DO NOT need malpractice insurance. If there are any questions, I’d check with your JAG, but here was their response:
“The claims authorized by NDAA20 are filed against the U.S. Government, NOT against individual providers. As a result, any monetary amount awarded as a result of such a claim would not be paid by an individual provider, but by the Government.”
Navy Reserve to Test New Evaluation and Fitness Report System
What ever happened to the new fitness report system? This article says they are targeting a DEC 2021 rollout:
New Operational Medical Officer (OMO) Instruction is Out – You Now Apply for Flight, Dive, FMF, and Surface
BLUF – Officers will now not only apply for Flight Surgery or Undersea Medicine, but also Fleet Marine Force and Surface.
Attached is the new instruction that governs application for Operational Medical Officer (OMO) positions:
The old version only mentioned Flight Surgery (FS) and Undersea Medicine (UMO), but this one adds Surface and Fleet Marine Force (FMF), all under the banner of OMO. In addition, it creates the Undersea Medical Examiner, similar to the Aviation Medical Examiner, so that anyone who can’t complete UMO training has a landing spot if they can’t complete UMO training, similar to Flight. This is all part of our 5-year transition to straight-through GME, which will kick off at the next GME Selection Board, and residency trained physicians in support of the Fleet.
Anyone interested in this should read the instruction in its entirety as it is a complete re-write. Finally, anyone interested in applying for Surface or FMF opportunities in FY22 who does not already have that experience will be applying to a selection board like Flight and Dive always have. No longer do these simply go through the GMO Detailer.
If there are any questions after reading the instruction, please contact the POCs in the instruction or me.
