Exactly what information should you make sure you have before the last day?

What documentation do you need I ensure that your malpractice tail is in fact in place (or if it is an occurrence policy to ensure that it will be covered?)

Not that I would ever accuse a hospital administrator of saying "you're good" and not buying the promised tail to save a few bucks...

Get it in writing.
Also, get an exit interview.

In writing from the insurer? Will just a letter be enough or is there some sort if a certificate delineating the coverage?

I doubt they would do that if it's in your contract that they'll cover your tail. Otherwise you could easily sue them for breach of contract if they didn't make good on the deal. What I could easily see happening, is a clerical error where some office person forgets to process it, of fumbles the arrangements to set up the coverage. That could easily happen. Your employer should be able to give you a copy of your med mal insurance policy in 5 minutes. It should be no more than a simple phone call for you. It's no different than someone asking you, "Can I get a copy of your homeowners insurance policy?"

"Yep," and off you go to your filing cabinet and make a copy.

If they have trouble coming up with a written copy of your tail policy, I'd be a little worried (but they won't). Other than that, "Get the hell out and never look back!"

Mine looks like a COI basically, stating the dates I was covered and the limits thereof.
