On-campus health & Wellness resources

Every week during the academic year (Fall and Spring semesters), excluding Italian holidays and University breaks, a doctor is available on campus. Please bring your GeoBlue insurance card to your appointment so that the cost of the visit will be covered. An English-speaking general practitioner holds office hours once a week. 

Students may sign up online at the link provided in the Florence Flyer as well as on the Campus Doctor Sign-up on the 'Forms' section of this website, where they'll see the available slots. Medical appointments take place at the Health Office.

NOTE ON ACADEMIC ABSENCES: If you miss 4 or more consecutive days of classes for health reasons, a doctor’s note must be submitted to the Office of Academic Support by email at florence.academicsupport@nyu.edu in order to get these absences excused. Exams, tests and quizzes, oral presentations, field trips and/or important deadlines that are missed due to illness always require a doctor's note as documentation to be submitted to the Office of Academic Support by email florence.academicsupport@nyu.edu.

Take a look at the relevant Academic Attendance Policy for more info. 

Students can also schedule an appointment with the off-campus medical clinic, Medical Service.  

Two English-speaking clinical psychologists, Thiago Fernandes and Silvia Fiammenghi, are available full-time, either online or in person, at the Counseling Cottage. They can also provide health referrals.

To request a confidential appointment, feel free to email them directly at florence.counseling@nyu.edu, including your full class schedule.
