Students are covered for general and malpractice insurance by The Ohio State University. The exception is that nurse midwifery students in their final three semesters of clinical experience are not covered by this policy; individual insurance arrangements must be made by these students. Students may access evidence of required insurance coverage procured by Ohio State for clinical compliance online. Inquires may be sent to insurance@osu.edu. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Ohio State shall have the right to elect to self-insure for the amount of the liability coverage Ohio State is required to carry hereunder.
In addition, the College of Nursing requires that all students carry health insurance through a family, employment, or student policy comparable to The Ohio State University Student Health Insurance Plan. Verification must be completed annually.
