AUC just sent out a letter that all students will be required to use AUC's insurance provider, for a fee of over $300/semester, no matter your age. The problem with this is that AUC's insurance provider covers almost NOTHING....it's among the worst insurance policies in the country. And, many of us in clinicals already have FAR superior insurance, with a yearly contract. I talked to Ms. Sanchez at MEAS, and it sounds as though she's already gotten a ton of calls about this, since it's going to cause major issues for almost every student. She encouraged me to e-mail her with why this policy sucks (my words, not hers), so she can try and figure out a solution. If you are just as outraged as me, please send her an e-mail at ssanchez@aucmed.edu.
Please do keep in mind that this was not her policy decision, and she was very nice on the phone...so maybe best to send a nice e-mail, while still expressing how awful this decision is.
