Those students in a program of study leading toward a degree or certificate in a health care profession who will be providing health care services to a patient or clinic under the direction of a faculty member of the College as a part of the course of study are required to have student professional liability (malpractice) insurance for which a special fee is charged.

Students in the health programs are also required to carry clinical accidental insurance, which must be obtained through the College and for which a special fee will be charged. The professional liability coverage does not protect the student in the event of illness or injury.Supplemental Instructional Centers
