The University Health Center supports the experiential development and learning of student interns, peer educators, and volunteers.

Why this podcast? Why these Topics? 

We choose to highlight themes that aren't usually talked about in the wellness presentations that we deliver on campus. That's because a lot of wellness topics, and the topics we discuss in this podcast, may be a bit more nuanced, complex, or are sometimes difficult discussing in a short presentation or a group setting.

The University Health Center (UHC) is committed to supporting students with underlying medical conditions.

If you have an underlying medical condition or are immune-suppressed, we recommend that you visit UHC to connect with one of our providers, even if you have a primary care provider (PCP) or specialist at home. This allows you to have an ongoing relationship with a UHC provider in the event that medical issues come up and your PCP or specialist can’t be reached. We aim to establish continuity for care received on campus and with your PCP or specialist.

Welcome to the University of Maryland community! 

Parents and families have an important role as students learn to take great care of themselves. We encourage parents to coach their students toward making wise health choices and through getting health care, when needed.

Regardless of your gender identity, if you have a penis, testes, or a prostate, we encourage you treat them to routine wellness exams and problem-focused care when needed.

Schedule your annual flu shot by booking your appointment online or stop by one of our walk-in clinics.

Flu shots are available at the UHC during flu season, typically from September through April.
