APPROVAL OF CONFLICT OF INTERESTS REGARDING UVA/HEALTH SERVICES FOUNDATION CONTRACTS
The following resolution was adopted:
WHEREAS, the Virginia State and Local Government Conflict of Interests Act permits and exempts personal interests of medical faculty in contracts between a state institution of higher education which operates a school of medicine and its physician faculty practice plan (the group practice organization through which faculty conduct their clinical practice); and
WHEREAS, the University's faculty practice plan, the Health Services Foundation, supports the University's medical education programs by serving as the group clinical practice organization for the School of Medicine faculty, allowing them to maintain and convey their skills to medical students within the Medical Center and related clinics, and by providing compensation that helps to attract and retain highly qualified faculty;
RESOLVED, as permitted by the Act, the Board of Visitors hereby approves the personal interests of School of Medicine faculty arising from their clinical income interest in the Health Services Foundation, which serves the University as its group practice plan.
