These plans undergo regular review and refinement. Remote Medical International, an industry leader in risk management, has reviewed our plans and has developed medical guidelines for our staff. Global Rescue has also reviewed our safety and communication protocols.

If you have any questions or need further information, please feel free to contact us at studyabroad@roundriver.org.
