Every MIT Undergraduate and Graduate Student MIT Medical services are available to every student who is registered and paying tuition at MIT, and almost all services at the MedCenter are free - even if you don't buy MIT insurance. You pay for dental care, routine eye exams, prescription drugs, contact lens services, eyeglasses, obstetrics care, allergy serums and orthotics. MIT Medical is open 24 hours a day every day of the year , with a doctor on site at all times. Also on site we have a tremendous number of services, far more than almost any other university offers its students.
Every student is assigned a personal physician, also called a primary care physician.
If you don't know who yours is, just call us and ask. We encourage you to develop a relationship with your personal physician. To make an appointment, either call 253-4481 or stop by building E23. During weekends and holidays we schedule urgent care appointments on a same-day basis. Of course, if there's an emergency, just call or come right over to E23 - no matter what time it is.
