UT Austin partners with On Call International (On Call) to provide assistance on the rare occasions when students or faculty/staff encounter an emergency while abroad.

- Coordination of emergency and non-urgent medical care for injury or illness, including COVID-19
- Coordination of medical treatment for mental health care
- Replacement of prescriptions or prescribed medication
