Current chief resident looking for associate positions in California (trained in another state). In my limited experience, surgeons hiring associates in my state provide malpractice insurance in perpetuity, no questions asked, and for a surgeon not to cover it would be unusual. Is this also the case in California, or is it more common for you guys to buy your own malpractice as an associate?
