Medical Care

Student Health Center

The Student Health Center is a comprehensive clinic located on campus.

They offer care from primary care physicians, women's health, dermatology, sports medicine, mental health treatment, immunizations, and basic lab testing.

  • You can schedule appointments ahead of time at your Patient Portal.
  • Walk-ins and same-day appointments are available for more urgent* medical needs. (* NOT FOR EMERGENCY CARE)

If you are insured through GSHIP, this will always be your first stop for care. Physicians here will refer you out, as necessary, for more specialty care.

Location:

501 Student HealthIrvine, CA 92697-5200 (across from the Law School parking lot )


Pharmacy

(at the Student Health Center)

The Pharmacy on campus is located inside the Student Health Center. If you have GSHIP, and many other common providers, you can get your prescriptions filled here.

In some cases, you can re-order prescriptions online through the messaging feature of your Patient Portal. Others will require in-office visits with your medical provider beforehand.

Often, some over-the-counter medications (i.e. Zyrtec, Monostat) can be found here for lower costs. See here for some current offerings.

UCI Student Health Center has partnered with UC SHIP, Anthem and LiveHealth Online (LHO) for online video conferencing appointments (telemedicine) with a physician when the UCI Student Health Center is closed or when you’re simply away from campus. LHO is available to all UCI registered students.

The Verano Wellness Center is located at 3400 Verano Place. The center provides safe inclusive access to wellness resources for all residents. The center is committed to providing opportunities that facilitate and support the promotion of wellness in many aspects of life, including emotional health, healthy mind, physical wellness, personal and spiritual growth and community building.

Therapy Assisted Online


Therapy Assisted Online (TAO Self-Help) are tools and a platform built to meet student educational and skill development needs in the areas of well-being and behavioral health. TAO Self-Help can be used when students need support and education for common issues, and to provide professionally guided help when the student’s problems require a higher level of care. TAO Self-Help can help increase access to resources, improve quality of life and well-being, help students overcome challenges, remove barriers impacting students’ lives, and reduce costs since this resource is FREE to UCI registered students!
