Is Malpractice Insurance Required for Medical Students?

A medical student should check with their school to see if they provide them coverage or if they are required to purchse it on their own. 


For most international medical students coming to the US to continue their training, they are often required to purchase their own medical malpractice insurance. 

How Much Will It Cost?

When medical students purchase malpractice insurance coverage, there are serveral considerations taken into account,  including where the student is studying medicine, the area of study, length of coverage needed, and limits of liability. Every insurance provider has their own set of variables that they look at.
