Counseling services
Students have both on-campus and off-campus counseling service options. The UMMC Student Counseling Services providers promote mental health and wellness of UMMC students across all degree programs, free of charge. They provide healthcare for a wide range of mental health concerns. Additionally, UMMC students have access to a free Student Assistance Program offering confidential and innovative well-being solutions to all UMMC students and their household members.
Employee/Student Health Department
The Student/Employee Health Department provides ambulatory medical care and is located on the first floor of the University Hospital north wing in Room N136. Students may receive nursing care, first aid and over-the counter medications at SEH on an as-needed basis during hours of operation. Standard sick call hours are staffed by a nurse practitioner and/or a physician. Sick call hours are 8 a.m.-4:15 p.m. Monday-Friday, excluding UMMC holidays. To shorten your wait time, call (601) 984-1185 to make an appointment.
The Employee/Student Health Department does not provide medical care for dependents of students, nor can it reimburse students for treatment received elsewhere. Students are responsible for notifying the appropriate instructor or department when they are going to be absent due to illness.
