Dear Student,
The Student Health Service (SHS) at Columbia University Medical Center welcomes you!
The staff of SHS is here to serve you. We offer primary care, mental health, and preventive
health and wellness services for men and women and Trans students, which are tailored to the particular needs of
those entering the health professions. A clinician is also on call 24/7 for health emergencies
whenever the SHS is closed. We strive to be a model of compassionate, high-quality health care for
the diverse Columbia University Medical Center community.
In addition to meeting your clinical needs with easily accessible care, we are one of your important
resources for occupational health, including needlesticks, preventive medicine, and wellness education.
To find out more about SHS, please explore our website. Be sure to visit our Health Handouts & Links
section to download any of our patient education materials, or to link to other important (and reputable)
health information sites.
Please make an appointment with us if you have any health questions or concerns, as well as for your
recommended health maintenance and preventive care (for example, blood pressure checks or routine
gynecological examinations for women).
We look forward to working with you during your time at Columbia University Medical Center.
Sincerely,
Melanie J. Bernitz, MD
Executive Director, Student Health Service
Columbia University Medical Center
