Health Services

Davidson College students have access to health services for acute and chronic health conditions, as well as preventative services.

In addition to regular wellness check-ups and sick visits, the Center for Student Health and Well-Being (CSHWB) provides the following services.

Allergy Clinic Info

The CSHWB gives allergy injections by appointment Monday through Friday to students who provide orders from their allergists. Students are responsible for their own medication schedules and re-orders, and must remain on-site for 30 minutes after each injection.

Vaccines

Most required vaccines are available at the CSHWB and the charge for vaccines is applied to the student's account. If you have school insurance, there will be no charge. 
STI Testing Nurse Clinic

Screening in our nurse clinic is available for students who are not experiencing any symptoms of an STI but would like to have testing performed. Students who are experiencing symptoms need to schedule an appointment.
Self COVID Testing

Students who are symptomatic or have been exposed to COVID-19 are encouraged to come to the center to pick up a self-test kit on weekdays, 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.

MPX (Monkeypox) Information

MPX is an infectious viral disease transmitted from person to person via skin-to-skin contact. Anyone can get monkeypox, and colleges across the United States are working right now to prevent breakouts on campus this fall. Together, we can keep the Davidson community safe by limiting skin-to-skin contact, obtaining a vaccine if you have an increased risk of exposure, and reducing stigma.

Information About Preventable Diseases

North Carolina law requires that we provide all new incoming students and parents with information about these preventable diseases.
