Medical Insurance for Students
While you are a student at Duke, your health is important to us.
All Duke students are required to maintain adequate medical insurance. Duke offers a Student Medical Insurance Plan (SMIP) designed to meet the needs of students who have no insurance or who have inadequate coverage.
If you are an international student holding an F1 or J1 visa, enrollment in the SMIP is mandatory.
