"Our anticipation is that we'll be able to work out a method that is appropriate and safe," said Dr. Christopher M. Coley, chief of medicine at UHS.
Doctors must decide whether the pill should be offered directly through UHS or through another health institution, such as Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston.
Coley said Dr. M. Susan Schilling, who is affiliated with both UHS and Brigham and Women's, is exploring how the two institutions could cooperate in carrying out the treatment.
UHS does not currently perform surgical abortions on-site. Instead, students are referred to local clinics, and the procedure is partially subsidized through the Student Health Services fee.
He added that UHS also wants to develop a clear education plan regarding RU-486, such as the one that currently accompanies the "morning-after pill."
