I will be going to my externship April 27th. I was wondering if anyone has their own malpractice insurance policy? I have done some reading on this and I know right now the school I attend has a policy, but is their coverage? Can anyone tell me how much a policy costs if I wanted to get extra coverage?
I would rather have to much insurance than not enough.
Thanks
Tracy

I did some checking up and found a few sites. So i did some quotes.

As a student the cost for me in california was as follows:

--www.hpso.com $20.00 per year for certified/uncertified ma student

--www.hpso.com $86.00 per year for certfied/non certified non student that didnt graduate in last 12 months and works full time

--www.hpso.com $44.00 per year for a certified/non certified non student that graduated in last 12 months working full time
