include a large outpatient medical clinic, a
full-service pharmacy, a laboratory, an X-ray
department, mental health services, and a
wellness education department. All visits and

health service fee, paid during registration,
will entitle you to unlimited visits to a primary
care physician during the regular
semester. The first three visits to the Mental
Health Service are also included in the prepaid
fee. Any subsequent visits are based on a
sliding fee scale after consultation with the
patient. There are additional charges for lab,

clinics.
The Student Health Center Medical Clinic has six
full-time primary care physicians, two full-time
gynecologists, and 12 nurses. In addition,
part-time specialty services are offered in

Program at the time of registration or provide evidence in advance to the
International Services Office of acceptable insurance.
