Liability insurance for away rotations

Hello,
I am interested in doing an away rotation next year at SLU, but their minimum liability insurance is greater than what my school can offer me for purchase. Has anyone else had this problem? If so, were you able to purchase the insurance from another source, how did you get in contact with them, and how much did it cost?

SLU does not offer an option to purchase it from their school.

Thanks!

Tough problem. I've heard 3rd and 4th-hand stories about this, but don't have any specific info.

Consider looking at threads in the International forum. I know I've seen threads about this over there. For obvious reasons, it's a problem they deal with more.

I can save the OP time from going over to the International Forums...I cannot recall seeing a post in which someone found independent med mal and was able to afford it.

It really is. I feel bad everytime an international student wants to come to the US but his home program won't cover him and he has to find independent insurance.

I wish I knew the solution...there's got to be one doesn't there?

the saddest part is that the OP is at a US school in texas! apparently not everything (like...insurance coverage) is bigger in texas.
