Responsibility of Student’s Health Maintenance

Florida National University’s Physical Therapist Assistant Program recognizes that health maintenance is the primary responsibility of the individual student. Students are therefore required to carry their own health insurance during the program. Students may speak with Student Services regarding health insurance options.

If the student is involved in an incident or accident while in the clinical area, the student will be required to follow the established hospital/clinical facility protocol, complete the facility’s incident report form, and report to the Emergency Department for treatment. The student must also complete the program’s incident report form within 24 hours to be added to the student’s file. Access to, and cost of, emergency services will be borne by the student.
