Clinical Requirement question

[Guest guest]

> Is in normal practice for a hospital or other clinical site to require an EMT

B through P student to have health insurance?

If the organization that is putting on the class does not state health insurance

as a requirement when the class starts can they demand it when the class time is

almost complete and moving into clinical?

If health insurance is required where can someone how does not have health

insurance acquire said health coverage?

Debbie,

It is becoming a standard practice that All Clinical students EMS, Resp. Nursing

etc. have personal health insurance. Most facilities in the DFW area are now

putting that requirement into their clinical agreements with the education

programs. There are short-term student policies available. Hope this helps!
