Being sick abroad can be stressful, especially when you are unsure whether to wait, see a local doctor, or seek urgent care.
Mobile Doctor gives you access to a medical professional who can help you talk through your symptoms and offer guidance on your next steps. It is designed to support decision-making, not replace local care.
Keep in mind that Mobile Doctor doctors cannot prescribe medication abroad and should not be used for emergencies. If you need urgent medical help, contact emergency assistance immediately.

Être malade à l'étranger, c'est stressant — surtout quand on ne sait pas si on doit attendre, consulter un médecin local ou se rendre aux urgences.
Mobile Doctor vous donne accès à un professionnel de la santé qui peut vous aider à faire le point sur vos symptômes et à décider quoi faire ensuite. Le service est conçu pour soutenir votre prise de décision, pas pour remplacer les soins locaux.
Gardez en tête que les médecins de Mobile Doctor ne peuvent pas prescrire de médicaments à l'étranger et que le service n'est pas destiné aux urgences. Si vous avez besoin d'aide médicale urgente, contactez l'assistance d'urgence immédiatement.

On May 28, GuardMe joined Georgian College to officially open the GuardMe Student Success and Care Centre at the Barrie campus.

Made possible in part by GuardMe’s contribution, the centre brings key student supports together in one welcoming space, making care easier to find, easier to access, and easier to trust.

This milestone reflects more than 20 years of partnership with Georgian College and a shared belief in supporting students as whole people. From accessibility and learning support to immigration advising, co-op consulting, and testing services, the centre creates clearer pathways for students to access support earlier and with greater confidence.

Student success is shaped by more than what happens in the classroom. It is shaped by whether students feel seen, supported, and able to ask for help before they are overwhelmed.
We are proud to continue working alongside Georgian College to help build systems of care rooted in prevention, partnership, and real student experience.

🌟 What an incredible week at NAFSA 2026 in Orlando! 🌴✨

As we wrap up our time at the NAFSA Annual Conference & Expo, the GuardMe team is heading home with a profound sense of gratitude, inspiration, and a renewed commitment to the international education community.

This year’s conference served as a powerful reminder that the ways we support international students must never be accidental: they must be designed with intention, purpose, and care.

Our Executive Director of Clinical Excellence and Strategy, Christina Furtado, took the stage alongside Dr. Lokesh Shivakumaraiah from Mississippi Valley State University to co-host the session "Every Interaction Matters: Transforming Campus Mental Health for International Students."

Together, they invited educators and administrators to move away from strictly crisis-driven, reactive referral models and move toward proactive, human-centered care.

Thank you to everyone who joined us in the room, stopped by to connect with the GuardMe team, or booked a conversation to explore how we can better support campus communities together.

Mental health needs do not exist separately from physical health or insurance coverage. GuardMe integrates mental health support directly within its insurance and benefits ecosystem for both international and domestic students. This includes access to virtual care, navigation support, and complementary services that help students understand where to turn and how to access care.

With this holistic model, institutions reduce fragmentation and offer students consistent and coordinated support. This approach supports early access, helps ease pressure on campus services, and contributes to student wellbeing across the full academic journey.

Les besoins en santé mentale ne sont pas dissociables de la santé physique ni de la couverture d'assurance. GuardMe intègre le soutien en santé mentale directement dans son écosystème d'assurance et d'avantages sociaux, tant pour les étudiants canadiens qu'internationaux. Cela comprend l'accès aux soins virtuels, un soutien à l'orientation et des services complémentaires qui aident les étudiants à savoir vers qui se tourner et comment accéder aux soins dont ils ont besoin.

Grâce à ce modèle global, les établissements réduisent la fragmentation et offrent aux étudiants un soutien cohérent et bien coordonné. Cette approche favorise l'accès précoce, allège la pression sur les services du campus et contribue au mieux-être étudiant tout au long du parcours scolaire.
