MedLinks are students like you. We're here to connect students to information and resources from MIT Health.
What do MedLinks do, and how do we help?
More than 150 Medlinks are here to support the health and wellbeing of MIT students — both in their living groups and within the wider MIT community — one-on-one and through larger campus events. Every dorm and many FSILGs have at least one resident MedLink.
If you have a cut or scrape or aren’t feeling well, your MedLink can give you first-aid supplies and single doses of common over-the-counter (OTC) medications. We can also help you decide if you need to seek medical attention when you are sick or hurt.
Medlinks can also answer questions about MIT Health’s policies and services and can help you connect with other MIT resources.
