Medical Student Malpractice Insurance

Medical malpractice is negligence, inaccurate advice, and/or an act of omission that leads to the injury—or death—of a patient under the care of a medical professional. This is why medical professionals are required to have malpractice insurance. While specific regulations on this vary from state to state, this requirement is placed upon medical students as well. This is an issue that has found its way into the courts. For instance, in Columbia Medical Center of Las Colinas v Bush, 122 S.W. 3d 835 (Tex. 2003), a Texas Court of Appeals found that non-physicians may not be protected from medical malpractice lawsuits when their care for patients is deemed negligent.

Fast Facts

  • Furthermore, medical students may be sued years after the alleged act of negligence.
  • While specific standards and terms vary, nearly all reputable medical schools require their students to apply for malpractice insurance.
