Individuals who have started as a Medical Director or those who accepted/accept offers may choose to obtain malpractice insurance. While this is not a requirement, some physicians prefer to secure coverage before practicing. If they have not yet started, we recommend obtaining this coverage prior to Day 1 if they prefer to have it in place. Should you elect to do so, the cost of the insurance will be your personal responsibility and will not be reimbursed. There is no min required for malpractice insurance as it is not a requirement.
