i think i read somwhere that there is concept in american insurance world called "tail" which shortly means if you are working for e.g. 1 month at some hospital and you have a "tail to your insurance" for 1 year and then you leave and maybe 6 months later a patient of yours dies as a result of what you did to him 6 months ago, the "tail" covers it.

but i am not sure if this is the same thing.


so one must take care of his tail by spending 1000 dollars!!!!!!!mad

"tail coverage" is very important. it basically covers you for the duration of time that you're not covered by malpractice for any incident that happened as a result of your actions when you were covered. i don't know why they would require this of you though... i guess they're trying to play it safe.

let me know what happens.

best of luck smiling face

Thanks everyone for useful experience.

No, as it's a hands-off experience only. So you don't need malpractice.

Well i will be doing an elective in new york and the form submitted by the insurance company asks me whether i will provide direct patient care and if so what kind of care. The reccomendations from the broker are to state that i will be observing only.

And my questions are: If i write in the contract that i will only be observing, if something happes and i am sued will they cover me?

and second question:
If i write that i will provide direct health care what exactly should i write?

thanks

Yeah, it's almost the end of the year and nobody, neither Dragonfly, or anybody else who were struggling to get this has stated if they succeded or not...

Please tell us!!! I think we all would appreciate this kind of information...

I can't believe the tuiton fee is at 2400 a month. How can one afford that? Do you know of any scholarships or reimbursements that you can get? Does this include malpractice insurance as well?
