Preparing for your studies in the U.S. goes beyond packing bags and booking flights - it’s also important to get your healthcare needs in order. In our new video, “Healthcare Considerations Before Coming to the U.S.,” the ISO Student Health Insurance team shares essential steps every international student should take before arrival. From scheduling a routine health check-up to making sure your vaccinations are up to date, these simple preparations can help you avoid unnecessary stress later on.

The video also covers practical tips such as visiting your dentist before leaving, bringing an extra pair of glasses or contact lenses, and filling your prescriptions so you don’t run out shortly after arriving. With healthcare in the U.S. often being expensive and sometimes difficult to navigate, taking these steps ahead of time ensures you’ll be healthier, better prepared, and ready to focus on your studies.
