Health and Wellness
The Office of Student Services makes it a goal to help students find the resources and information they need to maintain a balanced and healthy lifestyle while attending graduate school.
Wellness at the Monterey Institute
At the Monterey Institute of International Studies, the health and wellbeing of our students is of the utmost importance. While MIIS does not have on campus health facilities or fitness facilities, we are dedicated to helping our students find the resources they need to maintain a balanced and healthy lifestyle.
Students attending MIIS are required to provide proof of health insurance. There are a couple of options available to help you do this. One, you can enroll in our Student Health Insurance Plan or, if you already have health insurance, or prefer to find your own coverage plan, you can opt-out of this plan and provide the details of your current insurance provider. For further information read through the Health Insurance page on the website.

Should you need specific medical advice please contact the appropriate medical officials. You can obtain this information through the Wells Fargo Student Health Insurance Plan or through your private health insurance provider.

1. Focus on form
It’s more important to get your technique right than to bang out all the reps of an exercise. Form—the correct movement for each exercise—is very important during strength training. Poor form isn’t just ineffective, it can lead to injury. It’s a good idea to train in a room that has a mirror so you can see exactly what you are performing.
2. Don’t hold your breath
