Professional Liability Insurance
Some agencies require students to have professional liability insurance. Students agree to show proof of
professional liability insurance in amounts satisfactory to the facility and the institution, and covering
their activities at the facility, and to provide evidence of such insurance upon request.
OR Claflin University maintains professional liability insurance for all fully matriculated
and duly enrolled students. This insurance covers students only while in the student role and for the enrolled course.
Claflin University assumes no responsibility for activities which students undertake as an employee of an agency
or as a volunteer.
Medical Insurance & Health Care Responsibility
Students must provide a copy of current medical insurance coverage. All medical or health care
(emergency or otherwise) received at a clinical facility is the sole responsibility and expense of the student.
Should a student experience an injury, he or she should notify the course faculty as soon as the condition is
stable and notification is possible.
