- If you are required to take medications for medial or psychological conditions, make sure that you can bring your prescription medication with you.
- If your prescription is legal in your host country, be sure that you have adequate supplies of these items for your program. Brand names and measurements differ and you may have difficulty finding your specific medication and/or filling any of your prescriptions abroad. Some medications may actually be illegal to bring into your host country, even with a valid prescription. Prescription medication that is legal to bring into your host country must be labeled with your name, your physician's name and the generic (not brand) name of the medication.
- We encourage students with medical conditions to wear a medical alert bracelet or pendant.
