University Health Services is an excellent resource for students, and is housed at the Tang Center, 2222
Bancroft Way, 642-2000. Students with dependents have the option of enrolling them in coverage under
SHIP; fees apply and students are responsible for paying them directly.
UHS provides comprehensive medical, mental health, and health promotion services to all Cal students. Its
Counseling and Psychological Services (CPS), 642-9494, offers professional career, academic, personal,
and crisis counseling. Students can use the medical services just as they would their regular doctor’s office
and urgent care center. The facility is fully accredited, staffed by board-certified physicians, nurse
practitioners, physician assistants, a nutritionist, and nurses.
Students going abroad for fieldwork may want to contact UHS’s International Travel Care Clinic. The
Travel Clinic provides consultation with medical professionals, immunizations, advice on preventing
illness while traveling, and education on safety concerns related to food, drink, and recreational activities.
Travel visits are by appointment. There is a charge for the consultation, in addition to charges for
immunizations.
