INSURANCE COVERAGE FOR INTERNATIONAL ELECTIVES

Students taking an international elective will be required to obtain a Medical Assistance Policy (cost estimate $125.00/month) through International SOS, Inc. (see information below). Proof of this insurance will be required. This is coverage beyond personal health and travel insurance; it provides emergency medical intervention, evacuation, treatment, and safe return home. Should you already have such a policy that covers all of the above, you may submit documentation to the UGME; it may be used in lieu of the Medical Assistance Policy. 

In recent disastrous situation(s), this has proven to be an absolute necessity to medical students, especially in developing countries. Please contact Adrianne Edwards in the UGME Office with any questions (858-534-1396) or a1edwards@ucsd.edu.
