Googley,

If I were in your position, I also would not want school and personal care to overlap. Let's face it, the law may technically protect you, but...people don't always follow the rules. Your instructors are human and as much as they may try to remain completely objective in assessing student performance,their personal opinions, biases, and subjectivity affect these assessments.I would want to be in control of what information they have about me.

Do you really have to get a new pdoc? How often do you need to have follow-ups? Could you just keep your pdoc and have him/her Rx your meds to a local pharmacy. Maybe schedule your follow-up appointment during school breaks. If you require more direct MD type care, could you just work through the University's on-campus health center. At my University the health center and counseling center operate separately. Our health center is set up to provide local services for out of state students who can't be followed by their hometown MDs. Could you use an online pharmacy to have your medications filled and shipped to your school address?

The for your T services, could you do the Cobra option or find a local T that uses a sliding scale? Or maybe make arrangements with your current T to do phone sessions and maybe face-to-face sessions on breaks or a few weekends?
