Psych_Guy Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 (edited) So, we all know that clinical psychologists who practice need malpractice insurance. Does the standard malpractice insurance cover you if you're supervising someone who is still earning their hours towards license eligibility under you (in a private practice setting)? Does it cover work done by a trainee? Thanks. Edited January 31, 2023 by Psych_Guy added tags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsyDuck90 Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Trainees typically have their own (very cheap) malpractice insurance either that they pay, their university pays, or VA covers if you work there. However, the reason it isn’t that expensive is because we are providing services under our supervisor’s license. The supervisor would have to check with their own malpractice insurance to ensure they are covered for their trainees as well. The last thing you want is to have never inquired and then find yourself in the position of needing that insurance because of a trainee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
