If you are sick or need medical consultation or treatment, please see the Student Health Resources webpage.

Resources for medical consultation and treatment are available for medical students on every campus. Students are encouraged to seek health consultation if symptoms are interfering with life maintenance and/or medical school performance.

For up-to-date information about COVID-19, please refer to the COVID-19 Resources page.

Universal precautions procedures protect both students and patients from unnecessary health risks. IU School of Medicine students receive annual online training on prevention. Students must be aware of the recommendations outlined in the relevant teaching hospital’s policies.

Needlesticks and certain specific injuries and exposures require reporting and a mandatory consultation with the statewide 24 hour/7 day a week OUCH team to provide information regarding needlesticks and assist in finding local testing and treatment resources. Find details about reporting needlestick, injury and environmental exposure and read the Exposure to Infectious Agents Policy.
