Health Insurance & Immunization
Health Insurance
Students are responsible for purchasing and maintaining health insurance coverage. Verification of personal health insurance will be kept on file in the PA Program office and is required of all students. All clinical experiences require health and immunization information be provided to clinical preceptors 4-6 weeks prior to a clinical rotation.
Please note that students without health insurance can not be permitted to participate in patient contact activities, and therefore can not successfully complete the program.
