Three ways that AVMA Trust supports SAVMA members
AVMA Trust provides tools to protect you while you are learning to protect your patients and clients. The AVMA Trust is the combined insurance group including the AVMA PLIT and AVMA LIFE available only to AVMA and SAVMA members. Together, these products offer essential coverage to protect you while you work to protect your patients.
Three ways AVMA Trust supports SAVMA members are:
1. AVMA PLIT provides student professional liability insurance at no cost to SAVMA members. Clinical experiences may begin your very first year with volunteer work, part time employment, or externships. AVMA PLIT wants you to be protected even as a student from malpractice claims that could derail your career. Even though you are a student, you are at risk of malpractice law suits and student professional liability insurance can help protect you. The AVMA Trust will pick up the tab for your premiums while you are in school.
2. AVMA LIFE provides $25,000 of life insurance to every SAVMA member at no cost. Provide protection for those that matter most to you in the event the unthinkable happens. AVMA LIFE provides this policy to every SAVMA member attending school in the United States.
3. AVMA LIFE also offers a basic protection package for SAVMA members. For only $22 per month, students can receive disability insurance that could provide $500 per month for up to five years in the event of a covered disability. In addition, in the event of a covered disability that causes a withdrawal for a semester, the disability coverage could pay up to $2000. This package also includes a rabies vaccination benefit that helps cover the costs of rabies vaccinations and titers, plus $100,000 of term life insurance.
As a SAVMA member, you are part of the largest veterinary student association in the world. Make the most of your SAVMA membership and let the AVMA Trust protect you and your career.
