Re-entry Guide

Post-travel Health Recommendations

There are a few health issues you need to consider when returning from travel abroad: If you become ill within 12 months after traveling, make a medical appointment and inform your physician of the countries you visited while abroad. If you have been taking anti-malarial medication, continue doing so for four weeks after you return home.

Schedule an appointment with a health care provider for a sexually transmitted disease check if you were sexually active while abroad.

Remember that your study abroad accident and sickness insurance covers you only while you are abroad, so make sure you have adequate coverage in the United States.
