Important health information

All non-resident students will need to bring an adequate supply of their prescribed medications for the duration of their stay. No schedule I or II (group A and B) medications will be prescribed during your stay in Norway. Under extenuating circumstances prior written arrangements might be made between SiO physicians and the patient’s home physician.Reed more here: Norwegian Custom.MRSA control screenings will be performed on all health care students upon arrival. Initiation of medical evaluation/treatment for pre-existing conditions is not covered by SiO Health Services unless there is an exacerbation requiring emergency services.It is highly recommended that all non-resident students purchase additional health insurance as services provided by SiO physicians are limited to Norway and based on immediate needs.
