On This Episode:
Today we’re tackling something that every single SRNA needs to understand before signing their very first employment contract, and that’s protecting our livelihood once we graduate.
In this episode of Grade 1 View, hosts Mackenzie and Nicolas sit down with Bryan Doyle, ME, RPLU, Acting Vice President of AANA Insurance Services and Lisa Kiska, RPLU+, Supervisor, Underwriting & Customer Service at AANA Insurance Services to break down the essentials of malpractice insurance to better prepare every SRNA for the realities of the workplace.
Malpractice insurance isn’t just a formality or a box to check for HR. It’s a critical shield for your clinical practice, your personal assets and your professional reputation. If you think the hospital’s policy has your back just because you’re a W2 employee, you might be in for a rude awakening.
Here’s some of what we discuss in this episode:
🛡️ Malpractice Basics – What every SRNA should understand
📄 Contract Pitfalls – Hidden insurance clauses to watch for
💰 Tail Coverage – The expensive surprise many providers miss
⚖️ Claims & Lawsuits – What happens when you’re named
🏥 1099 vs W2 – How insurance responsibilities change
