Students are fully covered by Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine's professional malpractice insurance while on all officially assigned hospital and health care center clerkships, preceptorships, and electives approved by the College.
First- and second-year students participating in clinical opportunities outside of the regular curriculum are covered by PCOM's malpractice insurance provided the clinical opportunity has the approval of the Director of Clinical Education and/or Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs.
All PCOM students (all programs on- and off-campus) are required to complete the mandatory Pre-Matriculation Medical History Questionnaire "MHQ" health/physical and immunization forms. Each PCOM student (all programs on- and off-campus) must provide mandatory quantitative blood test results for Hepatitis-B and other health-related records. All forms, test results and records must be scanned, emailed as a PDF document to pavaccine@pcom.edu based on the deadlines set by the Office of Student Wellness and Records Office.
