There are several types of insurance for students to consider as part of their education, some that are required by Rosalind Franklin University, and others that are optional to students. The following section help to guide you through requirements and options for health, disability, and malpractice insurance.
Health Insurance All students of Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science are required to have and maintain health insurance. Students are encouraged to utilize the plan provided by the University and should fill out the enrollment form to turn in at orientation. Students who are already covered by insurance are permitted to opt out of the University facilitated plan by filling out the Health Insurance Waiver Form and turning it into Student Financial Services. Without this form students will be automatically enrolled and billed through Student Financial Services.
Disability Insurance Not all students within the University are required to maintain disability insurance. However, it is recommended that students explore this option for their own protection. Because of the cost of medical school tuition and the potential loss of future income all Chicago Medical School students and Scholl College of Podiatric Medicine students are required to maintain disability insurance.
Malpractice Insurance Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science provides professional liability coverage to students in the process of obtaining their professional training. Because this training does not necessarily include all of a student's activity while engaged in service outside of the University, students are encouraged to explore personal coverage for activities not included in the University plan.
