Student Professional Liability Insurance from Pharmacists Mutual

KU School of Pharmacy students participate in activities directly related to patient care and pharmacy care services. Before you can participate in those activities, you must purchase and maintain continuous individual pharmacy student liability insurance coverage.

The professional liability coverage is available through a cooperative program between the KU School of Pharmacy and Pharmacists Mutual Insurance Company ». See the Pharmacists Mutual application linked below. The individual premium for each student is $29 per year if paid by Sept. 30, 2024. After that date, the price is $32. Payment is made directly to Pharmacists Mutual.

The policy provides insurance coverage to you, as a pharmacy student, during all professional activities related to the requirements of our curriculum as well as your participation in non-academic pharmacy activities such as part-time employment as a pharmacy student intern during the school year and semester and summer breaks. You are responsible for renewing coverage each year.
