PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The main focus of this learning trip to Italy is to provide a group of students from the University of Baltimore with high-impact learning experiences linked to the healthcare system in Italy. For this purpose, some visits to healthcare providers will be arranged in Rome and Palermo. In particular, in Sicily, this will be possible thanks to the active collaboration with the University of Palermo. Students will study key concepts in regard to analyzing specific aspects of the healthcare system through a comparative approach with the U.S. healthcare system.
Some free time will also be available for students to explore in these wonderful Italian cities and some guided sightseeing will also provide the students with the opportunity to be exposed to a unique and ancient culture.

IMPORTANT PRE-DEPARTURE DOCUMENTS
Important Insurance Information
Your EdOdyssey trip includes international emergency medical coverage
Participant safety is a top priority. As part of every EdOdyssey program, you're covered by robust international medical insurance designed to provide you with essential protection in case of emergencies abroad.
Optional Travel Insurance
It's important to note that this included medical insurance is NOT travel insurance and does not extend to cover travel-related inconveniences such as cancellations, delays, and other unforeseen circumstances. To ensure your trip is worry-free from start to finish, we strongly recommend considering the purchase of additional insurance options tailored to your needs. There are two major 'types' of Travel insurance to consider:
Travel Insurance: This coverage safeguards you against common travel hiccups such as delays or a lost suitcase.
Cancel For Any Reason (CFAR) Insurance: For the utmost flexibility, CFAR insurance allows you to cancel your trip for any reason and receive a partial refund, ensuring you're not locked into your plans if circumstances change.
In our registration portal, Group Collect, you can easily add their Standard or Enhanced plan when you register or anytime within the first 14 days after the initial payment. These policies are provided by Trip Mate. Click the button below to read the policy details and coverage. You have up to 14 days after your first payment to purchase this policy.
As with all insurance, there are many options available and what is most important is the policy be an appropriate fit for you. Always take the time to review the policy's exclusions, understand the reimbursement policy and limits, eligibility criteria for reimbursement (cancellations, interruptions, date constraints, and more), and coverage for unique circumstances such as pandemic, travel delays, government-imposed restrictions, COVID testing requirements, and quarantine-related expenses.
