The Department of Family Medicine has arranged for students who experience needle sticks while on campus to be assisted by the needle stick response program at the University of Maryland Medical System. If appropriate, treatment to prevent HIV infection should be initiated within two hours. Any student assigned to an off-campus clinical placement should be certain to understand the needle stick procedures at the remote location before beginning work or studies. An optional dental plan is available to students and their families. All services are provided by licensed dentists who are pursuing additional training in the Advanced General Dentistry program in the University of Maryland Dental School.
Participation is voluntary.
The Dental Plan offers two coverage options. A general description of these is presented in Table II . You can enroll or obtain more information about the plan at Student Accounting , Administration Building, room 315.
