Abstract: The Free Clinics FTCA program application is used to determine if the free clinic volunteer health professionals meet the statutory requirements for deeming the health care professional as a Federal employee for the purposes of Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA) medical malpractice protection. If the requirements of the Act are met, the related free clinic can be sponsored to be "deemed" a federal employee for the purpose of FTCA medical malpractice coverage.
