Medical Care for Exclerks
All visiting students are required to be covered by health insurance in order to participate in HMS rotations.
Visiting students are not eligible to seek care through Harvard University Health Services (HUHS). In addition, visiting students are responsible for all costs which may be incurred while on assignment through the HMS Exchange Clerkship Program including needle stick exposure. For expenses related to the treatment of a needle stick injury, the visiting student's health insurance will be billed and the visiting student should work directly with their home school's Dean of Students' Office.
