Policy Statement

 

The University of South Florida College of Medicine strongly supports the policy of the Accreditation Committee on Graduate Medical Education which prohibits the inclusion of any restrictive covenants or non-compete clauses for residents. 

 

It is the policy of the USF College of Medicine that no residency program will ask for a signature by a resident on a non-compete or restrictive covenant clause as a contingency of Graduate Medical Education training. 

 

Residents are advised to note that it is also improper to sign a non-compete/restrictive covenant clause in conjunction with any USF College of Medicine documents.
