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.
