Student Health and Counseling Services (SHCS) puts patients at the center of their health care. Patients benefit when they see the same health care provider over time. We assign each patient a primary care provider (PCP) at the first primary care visit, unless the patient has assigned one for themselves online. We strive to schedule most of your appointments with this provider or their team. You may visit our Meet Your Provider page to read more about our providers. Seeing your PCP allows for continuity of care, which fosters an ongoing, cooperative relationship that allows your provider to better understand your specific needs for information and care.

SHCS offers UC Davis students care for wellness, illness, injury, sexual and reproductive health, and gender care.

  • Services are available to all registered students, regardless of insurance.
  • All medical services are located at the Student Health and Wellness Center.
  • You must schedule an appointment for medical services.
