MIT Medical and Insurance
There are two forms that you need to fill for medical and health insurance purposes. The following is a guide on what you need to do; hopefully it will save you some hassle later on.
Medical Report
Everyone needs to complete an MIT Undergraduate and Transfer Medical Report. This form can be found at http://mit.edu/medical/student/form0203.htm and requires a brief medical history and the signature of a physician. If you have received some or all of the required immunisations before, then getting the signature of your doctor before leaving for MIT will make it easier to meet the Fall term deadline of the various medical forms, which is September 30.
MIT Medical prefers that all students receive their immunisations prior to arriving at MIT. Most of the immunisations required are those you should have received in childhood, i.e. Measles, Mumps and Rubella. If necessary, you may receive or complete a series of immunisations at MIT Medical. However, you will be charged for any immunisation or test needed for matriculation into MIT.
Once complete, the Medical Report form should be returned to MIT Medical by post or fax:
MIT Medical E23-177
77 Massachusetts Avenue
Cambridge, MA 02139-4307
Fax: (617) 253-7265.
