Medical Care
High-quality care for UW–Madison students
University Health Services (UHS) offers a wide range of medical services to support students’ health and well-being while on campus, including primary care, vaccinations, laboratory services, sexual health, gynecology, travel health, physical therapy, nutrition services, and more.
Most UHS services are available at no cost through student segregated fees. Some health care needs (such as after hours, emergency care, and specialty care) may be addressed outside of UHS, so students are encouraged to maintain their own health insurance coverage. Students without coverage may enroll in the Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP).
