Health and Safety

In the Baylor in Great Britain program, we make every effort to protect the health, safety, and security of our student and faculty participants.  For these efforts to be effective, we all need to to be aware of the risks associated with international travel, and we all need to behave responsibly, and make ourselves aware of the resources available to reduce these risks.  Please take the time to read the following information and explore the following web resources.

All of the participants in this program will be enrolled in an Academic Health Plans policy, providing access to services and coverages that usually are not included in family policies, such as adequate coverage for medical evacuation and repatriation, arrangements for local-currency payment to international hospitals, and access to a 24-hour assistance line for international emergencies.
