TSC provides Tugo emergency travel medical insurance for all athletes and coaches who travel outside of BC for TSC training or competition.

Eligibility:
To be eligible for coverage under this policy, you must have a BC Health Card (or equivalent from another Canadian province or territory). If you are an international student you must register for the BC Medical Services Plan upon arrival in BC. (If you are an exchange student who is only at UBC for one term you are covered by your iMed policy and do not need to register for BC MSP.)

Coverage:
This insurance policy covers the cost of emergency healthcare for accidents, injuries, and new illnesses that occur while you're traveling with TSC. It also provides coverage for medical care for COVID-19 if the individual is fully vaccinated (as per BC government definition), and has not had COVID-19 within 30 days of departure.

To make a claim:
If you need to visit a hospital while outside of BC, please call Tugo as soon as possible. In some instances, the hospital will be able to bill Tugo directly, but in other cases you will need to pay with a credit card and submit a claim for reimbursement when you return home. (This depends on the policy of the hospital.)

Positive Body Image Development in Late Adolescent and Young Women Athletes Research

Principal Investigator: Taylor Unger, Masters student, UBC School of Kinesiology

Who?
I am recruiting girls and women aged 16-24, who are currently in competitive sport, and who identify as experiencing positive body image (feelings of love and respect for the body).

What is Involved?
The study would involve the individuals participating in an individual interview and collage session, approximately 2 weeks apart. The interview will be approximately one hour in duration, and the collage session will be approximately 2 hours in duration. The total time commitment for the study is about 3 hours.

Why?
The findings from this research will contribute to the positive body image development literature by including the experiences and voices of girls and women athletes. This research can contribute to the literature that equips clinicians to promote health and well-being or treat body image disturbances and provide insights on body image interventions for athletes.

See attached documents for how to get involved:
