Welcome to the Student Care Center (SCC)! The SCC provides general health care to all registered students at the University. The SCC is part of the University of Chicago Medical Center. The SCC is part of the University of Chicago Medical Center and is staffed by faculty physicians, nurse practitioners, a registered dietitian, as well as specialists in sports medicine, travel health, reproductive health, physical therapy, movement and ergonomics, and health education.

The SCC services and resources are funded by a mandatory Health and Wellness Fee that students pay each quarter. The Health and Wellness Fee also covers short-term psychotherapy, medication management, and study skills counseling at Student Counseling and Resource Service (SCRS).

Students with an after-hours emergency should telephone the physician on-call for medical advice; when necessary, they will be referred to the emergency room. Please note that emergency room visits, radiology, many laboratory tests, most prescriptions, and other services are not covered by the Student Health and Wellness Fee. Please see the link below for details on the separate health insurance that is required. Please make sure that to bring your health insurance card and information to campus.
