care provider)

- Graduate students who will receive health insurance (currently GradCare) as a benefit of employment or fellowship at UM (that is,
students funded by their program)

to Treatment of a Minor Form (only for students under the
age of 18, and your parent or guardian must complete this form)
- Tuberculosis screening is required for certain incoming international students. See

To help you stay healthy at school, all your immunizations should be current. For frequently asked questions about
immunizations and the UHS Immunization Form, see
Immunization Information.
Students should have health insurance (and health insurance is required for international students and their dependents).
If you need health insurance, please see Insurance for Students
for options. Please become familiar with how your health insurance works, and carry your insurance card with you at all times.
A physical exam is not required by the University of Michigan, however athletic teams and clubs may have different
requirements. Check with the team or club to be sure.
If you have a complex health history, ask your clinician to provide
a letter summarizing your health history and treatments. Schedule
an introductory visit with a UHS physician and bring this letter
to your first appointment (do not send it in advance). Carry a list of medication allergies
with you.
You may wish to consider purchasing the Tuition Refund Plan, which significantly
reduces financial loss if students are unable to complete a term due to illness (physical or psychological).
