Malpractice coverage amount

When I was a student the school dictated the amount of coverage I needed to carry, I think it was $2mil personal liability and $100K medical coverage. Now that I'll be be looking for a job and my student policy is almost up, is there a standard acceptable coverage amount? Does it depend on the job? I'm going to look for a hospitalist position, although if I can find something ICU related that would be my ultimate goal. I'm thinking ICU might require a higher level of coverage, but I'm not sure. Any thoughts? Feedback appreciated.
