Concern for the disability coverage of medical students led the Liaison Committee on Medical Education to require all schools, as a condition of accreditation, to assure that all medical students are covered by Disability Insurance. Medical students who receive needle sticks or who are exposed to blood-borne pathogens will be treated at Georgetown Student Primary Care Clinic. The cost for treatment is not covered by the student s insurance policy, but is covered by the School of Medicine. Parking and Transportation Because of severe limitations, the School of Medicine cannot provide on-campus parking for any medical student, other than those eligible for handicap status. Regular service operates Monday through Friday starting at 6 a.m. and ending by 11 p.m., with express buses every 10 minutes to Dupont Circle and Rosslyn Metro stations during morning and evening rush hours.
Many students choose to ride bicycles to class.
The School of Medicine maintains space for 75 bikes with lock facilities directly adjacent to the Med-Dent Building. Public buses to the Medical Center run approximately every 20 minutes. The fare varies, with transfers available throughout Washington, and transfers into Maryland and Virginia available at additional charge. Food Service Meal plans are available for medical students in the Darnall and New South cafeterias. Cafeteria, fast food, a pub, and a convenience store are available at the Leavey Center.
