Student and Employee Health (SEH)
Student and Employee Health is responsible for occupational health services for students and employees including immunizations, preventive trainings, and initial treatment for on the job injuries. The main office is located in N136. We will also provide our services to non-employees/contractors for a fee.
Hours are 7 a.m.-4:30 p.m., except on official UMMC holidays. Contact us at (601) 984-1185. If students or employees experience an on-the-job injury after normal work hours, they are encouraged to seek care at UMMC's Emergency Department, if necessary.
Services
- Vaccines: Influenza, Tetanus/Tdap, MMR, Varicella and Hepatitis B.
- TB Screening: An annual TB skin test or blood test is required of all students. Students who have had prior BCG vaccination are screened with a blood test. There is no charge for TB screens.
Costs may apply for student and contractor vaccinations. Students' vaccine price list can be obtained at SEH. Payment can be made at the front desk of SEH. Students' Hepatitis B vaccine series must be completed by the end of the first semester.
SEH also conducts annual tuberculosis screening and respirator fit testing, as needed, based on current guidelines.
SEH provides initial assessment and treatment of non-urgent workplace injuries for UMMC students and employees. Students may be responsible for laboratory, radiologic, or other fees. Bring your medical insurance card. Injuries requiring ongoing treatment will be referred to appropriate providers, as needed.
For blood-borne pathogen exposures report to Student and Employee Health as soon as possible. If exposure occurs after 3:45 p.m. or on weekends/holidays initial care for Blood Borne Pathogen exposure is provided in the UMMC Emergency Department. For locations off campus, contact SEH at (601) 984-1185 for instructions.
Staff members at Student Employee Health have no role in any student's academic assessment or evaluation.
Children are not allowed into Student Employee Health waiting area unless the children are being served in the outpatient lab located in SEH.
Primary Care Services
Student and Employee Health does not provide primary care services. UMMC faculty, students and employees, and their immediate family members, can enjoy fast access to minor medical care through Quick Care. Same-day appointments are available Monday - Friday from 8 a.m. - 5 p.m.
Quick Care is conveniently located in the Lakeland Medical Building at 764 Lakeland Drive, 2nd floor. See a Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) from the Department of Family Medicine for minor illnesses quickly. Quick Care handles common and acute illnesses, such as sore throat, earache, upper respiratory, urinary tract infections, flu and gastrointestinal infections as well as minor emergencies, such as sprains or rashes and yearly preventive medicine physicals. You can even use your badge swipe to pay for your care.
Schedule an appointment online on the Quick Care page on the UMMC Intranet or call 4-CARE (4-2273) or (601) 984-6800 or click here to request an appointment to see health care providers.
As an additional option for UMMC employees and their immediate dependents, UMMC 2 You is a benefit under the Mississippi State and School Employees' Health Insurance Plan (administered by Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Mississippi) for online minor medical care. Click here to learn more.
