IMGs usually go for US Clerckships in their final or Internship year.Some hospitals may need their applicants to pass TOEFL before accepting them for their Clerckship programs.U do not need to pass any of the USMLE exams before being accepted for Clerckship.
Here is a website which can help medical students search clinical rotations available in the US.It is a indeed a great resource.Here is the link:

www.beds4meds.com

Here r some of the companies I found which provide malpractice insurance for medical students:

a)Stewart Smith Mid-America
30 South Walker Drive
Suite 2706
Chicago, IL 60606
Telephone Number - (312) 236-7333

b)Steve Capone
Vice-President & Senior Underwriter
Academic Health Professionals Insurance Association
A Reciprocal Insurer
Telephone: (646) 808-0591
steve@academicins.com

c)AmWINS Brokerage of Illinois, LLC
Tel: 312.575.9268
Fax: 312.575.9297
Contact, Barbara Babiak.barbara.babiak@amwins.com

I hope this information will help those international medical students who want to go for clinical rotations.

Good Luck!

I donot think any company in India offers such a service.It cud be around 1000 USD roughly.
Good Luck!

These premiums r meant for a year.Sometimes a hospital may also cover a student's malpractice insurance,but this is not that common.
Good Luck!
