It's not just physicians who have professional liability and who can face the prospect of being sued for medical malpractice. All healthcare professionals – including STUDENTS – can be sued and should obtain professional liability (aka "malpractice") insurance.
We do not have a formal relationship with any provider, but we can suggest you contact these agencies, from whom students have successfully obtained coverage in the past:
Lockton Affinity has been a respected provider of medical student malpractice insurance for over 30 years.
For more information and/or to apply, visit the AMPI website.
HPSO® has been one of the largest providers of professional liability insurance for allied healthcare professionals and healthcare students in the US for over 40 years.
For more information, click on one of the links below:
Healthcare Providers Service Organization — Insurance for Physicians, Medical Students, and Other Allied Healthcare Professionals and Students
Nurses Service Organization — Insurance for Nurses and Nursing Students
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR INDIVIDUALS WITHOUT A US SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER: You may not be able to apply for liability insurance online. Telephone the company at the number listed on their website to see if they can offer you coverage and how to apply.
IMPORTANT NOTE: All DRN Education students who are enrolled in courses where they will (or may) have contact with actual patients and all persons doing internships, clerkships, rotations, etc with DRN Education affiliated healthcare providers must have Student Professional Liability Insurance which provides a minimum coverage of $1,000,000 (US$) per claim.
Healthcare in the United States is different from most countries and can potentially cause financial difficulties to students. Quality health insurance helps to protect from high medical expenses; therefore, DRN Education recommends that all international students maintain US health insurance.
DRN Education has partnered with ISO Student Health Insurance to provide health insurance plans with coverage options for international students at affordable rates.
Additionally, when you purchase a DRN Education sponsored plan via the following link, ISOA will waive your $16 annual administration fee.

If you are a US citizen or lawful permanent resident (aka "green card holder") and do not have health insurance coverage through an employer or other group, through a spouse, or through a parent, you may wish to explore health insurance coverage options via HealthCare.gov.
The Occupational English Test® is now required by many pre-licensure and licensing authorities in the United States — including ECFMG, as a pre-requisite for IMG certification and eligibility to participate in medical residency matching.
The OET is NOT an intuitive exam, and even many native-English-speakers struggle to pass the test.
Do not put yourself in a position where you think you're prepared, take it, fail it, and have to re-take it… perhaps ruining your residency application timeline.
DRN Education recommends Specialist Language Courses.
Specialist Language Courses focuses on one thing: Medical English
Their staff is committed to helping healthcare providers pass pathway English examinations – such as the OET – while becoming more effective communicators for their English-speaking patients, and they are certified as an OET Premium Preparation Provider.
For more information, go to the Specialist Language Courses website.
