Students should consult with their physicians, psychologists, psychiatrists and counselors extensively regarding study abroad plans, especially for those considering long-term programs. They should also self disclose to the program administrators about their circumstances. This will allow the program administrators to appropriately assist the students. They may wish to pay special attention to availability for treatment of their medical condition in the destination and also, insurance options for medical evacuation from the country back home depending on the nature of their condition. Students should also continue their prescribed medications while abroad, which may mean bringing a supply sufficient for the duration of their sojourn.
