Malpractice insurance for medical students?
Malpractice insurance for medical students?
I am a medical student from brazil and I am applying for one-month rotations in different hospitals in NY. Most of them require you to have malpractice insurance. Questions: - Where to get it? - Can I get it online? - Is it possible to get for just one month? - How much does it cost? If you could, send me a list of companies that would provide this service. Thanks

Talk to your school. Most have information on student malpractice plans.

You have to get it through your school. NO insurance company here is going to give medical malpractice liability coverage to someone who's not yet licensed to practice medicine. You can't get it online, but you can arrange to do it over the phone and via the mail. You can buy it for one month, but you have to pay the whole year up front, and if you cancel after one month, you don't get any money back. How much it costs is going to depend on what you are doing, and where. Contact your medical school, for the coverage. Or you can check with your liason at one of the hospitals in NY, to see who they can refer you to.
