Health and dental coverage in med school?

[seventeenfour44 15]

Hey everyone

I was wondering if medical students get any additional coverage at school for health and dental costs, compared to the original amount we got covered as an undergraduate student. My family doesn't have an insurance plan, so I always make use of all they offer? I'm attending queen's by the way.

Thank you!

Calgary student - no, we had the same benefits as in premed undergraduate studies. As medical students, we are considered to be taking an undergraduate medical degree, and therefore are considered undergrad students for purposes of all the benefits and stuff.

Doubtful, at my alma mater its also just the same plan as undergrads. Most student unions run the university health care plans, and generally they are not in a position to make varying terms depending on the program of admission.
