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.

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.

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.

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. during the academic year.
