Health Information

All entering health science students are required to have a physical examination and proof of immunization against measles, mumps and rubella, tetanus/diphtheria, tuberculin skin test (2-step test), chicken pox (two doses of the vaccine or having had the disease), and the Hepatitis B immunization series. Medical history and physical examination forms will be provided by the University. All costs incurred are the student's responsibility.

In addition, students are required to have hospitalization and health insurance. Many clinical education centers will require the student to show proof of such. A reasonably-priced group insurance plan with provisions for either individuals or families is available through the University. Information on this policy is mailed to all newly admitted students prior to opening of classes and is also available in the University Benefits Office, 120-40 University Services Building, 1 W. Prentiss Street, 319/335-2676, toll free 877/830-4001, Benefits@uiowa.edu.
