While the College may make a list of providers available as a resource, it does not endorse, recommend or provide advice regarding any specific insurer or policy. Registrants are responsible for conducting their own due diligence to ensure that any insurance obtained meets the requirements set out in the Bylaws and their particular circumstances.
