Students on the Boston University Medical Campus (BUMC) now have access to low-cost emergency contraception, courtesy of a collaboration among students, Student Health Services (SHS), Student Affairs at the Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine, and BU Vending Services.
BU Medical Students for Choice (MSFC) worked closely with these groups to install a vending machine in the basement of the BUMC Instructional Building that dispenses a generic form of the Plan B morning-after pill for just $10, marking an important step toward expanding reproductive health resources on BU’s campuses.
