Here are detailed some services that students of the Degree Course in Medicine and Surgery may find particularly useful.

Italian Language Courses
The Degree Course works exclusively with the Centro linguistico d’Ateneo (CLA), located not far from the Campus (Building Marco Polo - ex Sede Poste - Viale dello Scalo S. Lorenzo, 82) which offers, free of charge, to all foreign students, enrolled for the first time in Sapienza University, the opportunity to evaluate their knowledge of the Italian language (the so-called placement test) and to obtain a basic or intermediate knowledge level (https://web.uniroma1.it/cla/cla/studenti-erasmus-programme/sapienza-inte...students). The A1 courses can also be taken online and asynchronously, not interfering with other teaching activities

Mental health and psychological counselling.
The mental health of our students is fundamental and for this reason Sapienza University offers a free counseling service for all students who request it. You can also use the service in English by booking an appointment at the following e-mail address: servizi.counselling@uniroma1.it. The Sapienza counselling service can also, if necessary, direct students to the most suitable psychological pathway provided by Faculty of Medicine and Psychology. All information on psychological counseling is available at the following link: psychological-counselling-sapienza..

Healthcare in Italy.
All international students must follow some administrative procedures to access to medical services in Italy.
EU citizens with the European Health Insurance Card - EHIC (or the E106 model) have access to medical services in Italy and all EU countries. The EHIC card allows free access to general practitioners, hospitals and A&E services (including surgical services). To obtain the benefits, you can go directly to a doctor or a public or affiliated health facility and show the EHIC, which gives you the right to receive treatment under the same conditions as the patients in the country where you are. (tessera-europea-assicurazionemalattia-team). Non-EU citizens must have private health insurance with specific requirements, approved by the Consulate/Embassy issuing the visa. Alternatively, you may choose to register with the Italian National Health Service (Italian acronym SSN) by paying a fee (for students, the amount is €149.77 per calendar year). The registration fee is to be paid by postal order addressed to: "Amministrazione P.T. - contributo Servizio Sanitario Nazionale", C/C number 370007", inserting the reason for payment in Italian "Iscrizione volontaria al Servizio Sanitario Nazionale" (Voluntary registration with the National Health Service). Once the payment has been made, you can register with the nearest ASL by presenting the following documents: Certificate of residence (or self-certification); Valid ID card/passport; Tax code (codice fiscale); University enrolment certificate (or self-certification). On the website of Sapienza University, dedicated to international students, (https://www.uniroma1.it/en/pagina/healthcareitaly) can be also found more information on facilities and services dedicated to the access of foreign users (Presidio Nuovo Regina Margherita, Poliambulatorio INMP).
