Primary Care Services

UCSB Student Health Service provides comprehensive primary care to support the health and well-being of all students. Our experienced healthcare providers are your first point of contact for a wide range of medical needs, offering both preventive care and treatment for acute or ongoing conditions.

Students can schedule general health visits for routine check-ups, wellness consultations, and guidance on maintaining a healthy lifestyle throughout their college years. We provide vaccinations to protect against a variety of illnesses, from routine immunizations to specialized travel vaccines.

For students managing ongoing health concerns, our team offers support in managing chronic diseases (such as asthma, diabetes, and thyroid disorders), with personalized treatment plans that fit your academic and personal life. When specialized expertise is needed, we excel at coordinating care with external and internal specialists, ensuring continuity and quality of care.

We are also a trusted resource for the diagnosis and treatment of acute conditions (including infections, minor injuries, and sudden illnesses), helping you get back to your daily routine quickly. Recognizing the connection between mental and physical health, our providers are trained to evaluate and treat common mental health conditions (such as anxiety and depression), and to connect students with counseling or psychiatric resources when appropriate.

Whether you are seeking preventive care, treatment for a sudden illness, or long-term support for a chronic condition, UCSB Student Health Service is committed to providing compassionate, high-quality medical care tailored to the needs of every student.
