Student Internships and Practicums

The General Liability policy evidences $5,000,000 in coverage for each occurrence, with a $5,000,000 annual aggregate.
The Healthcare Professional Liability policy provides $1,000,000 in coverage for each medical incident per member, with a $3,000,000 aggregate per member, per year. Claims made exclusively against a student or students carry a $0 deductible.
Students are also covered for $5,000,000 each incident in Automobile Liability coverage. This is primary coverage when driving a university-owned vehicle. This coverage is secondary to the owner’s coverage when driving a vehicle owned by the training facility. When driving a personal vehicle for work or educational duties, the personal insurance of the vehicle owner is primary.
This coverage is in effect for all students participating in a university-sponsored internship or practicum any time throughout the academic program, as defined through written agreement, and coverage is not limited only to the internship/practicum course semester.
Many clinical training facilities require evidence of coverage before students can enter for training. Certificates of Insurance can be provided by the EHS department.
