• Get plenty of sleep! Adults need 7-9 hours of sleep per night.
  
  
• If you smoke, reach out for help quitting: 1-800-QUIT-NOW.
  
  
• Limit your alcohol intake, and reach out to student counseling services (free and located in the library) if you need help with alcohol or other drug addictions.
  
  
• Get a physical exam yearly → many medical students qualify for MassHealth (apply here) and currently MassHealth will pay for the UMass Chan Student Blue Cross plan through the SHIP program (info here)
  
  
• You can see a UMass Chan family medicine doc who isn’t involved in any teaching or grading roles for a physical exam. Student confidentiality is a top priority, so be assured your PHI will be protected!
