Purchase Student Malpractice Insurance
Student malpractice insurance is required for the practicum. Students who maintain professional liability insurance as licensed counselors or other mental health professionals should note that this type of insurance would not substitute for student malpractice insurance. The American Professional Agency and the American Psychological Association Insurance Trust provide malpractice insurance for graduate psychology students. Students may contact the American Professional Agency and ask for the student department or visit the American Psychological Association Insurance Trust Web site. The practicum site and the university do not have to be approved by the American Psychological Association to obtain student insurance for the practicum. Students are required to secure at least $1 million/3 million dollars for your limit of liability coverage.
Students are required to submit a copy of the proposed site supervisor’s résumé or curriculum vitae (CV) as part of the complete application packet. The résumé or CV should include the following information:
Students are required to submit a copy of the proposed site supervisor’s current license, verifying they are licensed in the state you plan to complete your field experience.
You can either obtain a new copy from your supervisor or do a GOOGLE SEARCH for License Verifications, type in “Psychology License Verification ‘state’” and take a snap shot save.
Students must submit their current résumé or CV as part of the application packet.
Students should visit the Career Services Center website for guidance in creating a résumé and/or CV.

The Field Experience at Work Site form is only to be completed by a student applying to use his/her place of employment as a placement site for their practicum or internship. It is crucial to understand that such an arrangement will only be authorized when there is a clear differentiation between the students paid work hours and field work. A student’s work site may be approved only if the student’s employer is willing and able to meet all field criteria and requirements.
In Meditrek, students must indicates they are an employee of the field site in the affiliation agreement section. Once they complete that and hit submit, the section for the work form appears which gives them the link to the form. If the student has not yet indicated she/he is an employee OR she/he doesn't select that option, the work form option will not appear in her application.
Please complete this form if you are completing your practicum or internship at two sites. This form is required within your Meditrek application when applying for field work.
Please complete this form if you are applying for your internship and you have only selected one site supervisor. It is imperative that you check with your state board for your supervision requirements for licensure.
