On various online forums for medical students, we’ve been seeing people asking about companies that offer medical malpractice insurance for international students, so we thought to address some of these questions and concerns.
As a medical student, even though you will be under supervision of doctors and other experienced healthcare professionals, you can still be liable if a malpractice claim is filed. Some medical schools may cover you within specified limits, but many institutions do not.
The majority of medical schools in the U.S. do require that students have their own malpractice insurance. This can be frustrating for foreign students who have to take the time to search for insurance on their own and are not familiar with the insurance industry in America or what the requirements are.
Fortunately for you, Nexus Insurance Services, has relationships in the industry so that we can help gain access to companies who serve medical students, including international students. We can help with all the necessary paperwork and submit your application to various providers.
Another concern for international medical students is that not very many malpractice insurance providers offer short-term policies. Some students are taking electives or seeking internships and they will only be in the U.S. for a few months. Whether it’s just for 1 month or 6 months, we can also help you find great rates on medical students insurance for the short-term.
