I grant the State University of New York, its employers, agents and overseas partners permission to share
information concerning my health condition with program representatives, my family, insurance company
representatives and with any physician, psychologist or counselor who treated me during the past five years or is
now treating me. In situations where I am unable to give oral or written consent, I grant permission for
hospitalization and treatment recommend and carried out under the supervision of a qualified physician, including
administering anesthetics and performing necessary surgery at my own expense. I appoint the representative of
SUNY in the host country for the program to act on my behalf in authorizing necessary medical dental or surgical
care, hospitalization or medical evacuation for me should this be required. I certify that all responses made on this
form are true and accurate, and that I will notify the Administering Campus hereafter of any relevant changes in

Student Signature Date
Please contact your health care provider to review your medical history and travel plans and have them sign below.
To the Student’s Physician
Please review the student’s medical history; make sure s/he is up-to-date on all vaccinations and discuss with
him/her the upcoming overseas study plans and sign below. A physical is not required by SUNY if you have
adequate information to advise the student. By signing below, you confirm to the best of your knowledge that
student is sufficiently physically fit and mentally stable to fully participate in all activities as described in the
course itinerary. This may include hiking, extensive walking on uneven surfaces, and other events. Accommodations
for disabilities should not be expected because the laws differ from the U.S. in this area. Travel in a group to another
country can be stressful and can provoke anxiety or depression and increase the likelihood that emotional problems
arise. Psychological stability for travel is essential. I have reviewed this student’s medical history and examination
with him/her, consulted with him/her about vaccinations and medications that may be required, and developed a
treatment plan for the student to manage his/her about condition during the overseas program, if needed (Attach
pages as necessary)
Signature of Provider Date REQUIRED: Stamp or seal of Provider’s practice with address and phone
