The Health Services department is staffed by licensed health care professionals who provide diagnosis and treatment for acute illnesses such as sore throat, cough, earache, pink eye, upset stomach, wheezing, rash, hives, bug bites, infections, etc. We also offer over-the-counter medications to treat your illness.

We provide first aid services for minor injuries. If your injury requires additional care, we will refer you to an off-campus provider. In this case, we will provide first aid for injured students and refer to an appropriate facility for further care, should that be necessary.

Consultations for illness and first-aid services are available to CSM students at no cost.

Emergency Contraception (Morning after pill)
Emergency contraception is most effective used within 3-5 days after unprotected sex. In California, you can buy “Plan B” over-the-counter at a local pharmacy without a prescription. Contact your local pharmacy for availability and pricing. You may also schedule an appointment with one of our clinicians for more options, and to get the morning after pill at the CSM health center.

Birth Control Counseling
If you are interested in birth control please schedule an appointment. Some birth control options, such as condoms and birth control pills, are available for same day pick-up at the health center.

Pregnancy Testing
Schedule an appointment with a clinician. We have free on-site pregnancy testing.

STI Screening
Please schedule an appointment with one of our clinicians.
