Italian healthcare has been consistently ranked as number 2 in the world for several years (see http://gazettereview.com/2016/04/countries-with-the-best-health-care/).
The AUR Doctor
In order to better meet student health needs, Student Life has arranged to have a doctor on campus twice a week (Mondays and Wednesdays) for primary care at no charge to students.
For specialist visits, the Office of Student Life can assist students with hospital or physician appointments. There are several excellent public hospitals in the immediate campus area and an international private hospital within easy walking distance of the campus.
Health Insurance
Italian law requires all non-European visiting students to obtain a mandatory state emergency health coverage for the duration of their study in Italy. The University facilitates this process by arranging the purchase of the insurance and the compilation of the applicable documents for the authorities. This insurance coverage gives the student complete access to emergency public medical care. The individual study abroad programs often require additional medical coverage, inclusive of emergency medical evacuation.
Counseling Services
Two certified counselors give routine, non-medical counseling to AUR students by appointment. Students can book an appointment directly with the counselors. Detailed information on this service can be found in the Student Handbook.
The AUR doctor and counselors can refer you to the AUR psychiatrist to prescribe and monitor medications; appointments are by referral only.
