What medical care is provided for an ill student?
A. The health and safety of all our students is our primary concern. In our U.S. programs, a Summer Study “Medical Coordinator” will escort any ill student to the on-campus Health Center for proper medical attention. Similarly, in Paris, a Summer Study staff member will escort any ill student to an English-speaking physician with whom a relationship has been established over the many years we have had students in France. In the event of a medical emergency, students will be taken to the nearby hospital emergency room. All medical expenses incurred (including prescription and non-prescription medication) are the responsibility of the student and his/her parents. A medical form will be sent in the spring requesting a medical history and health insurance policy numbers. All students must be covered by medical insurance in order to attend.
