Health Abroad

The Office of International Safety & Security is committed to supporting healthy and successful international travel experiences for its students, faculty and staff.

Maintaining health care while abroad ranges from understanding the effect of jet lag or cultural adjustment on your body to actively managing health conditions in a new environment. The resources identified on this webpage are a great starting point for travelers with questions about managing health related concerns abroad. However, the CISI supplemental international insurance is designed to be the backbone of the university’s health and medical support for travelers abroad. Once enrolled, travelers are highly encouraged to utilize the CISI insurance by contacting them directly with any specific medical concerns or questions (e.g. availability of specific medical resources in destination(s)) prior to or during travels abroad.

If you have additional questions or concerns, please be sure to reach out to globalsafety@kennesaw.edu.
