All our clinicians are trained in women’s health care. We offer routine annual gynecological exams; evaluation and treatment for gynecologic symptoms or problems; contraceptive and pregnancy counseling; education and evaluation for sexually transmitted infections; and self-care advice. We also have a gynecologist at the Student Health Service a half day a week.
  • When you make an appointment for gynecological care, be sure to tell the receptionist whether it is for a routine (annual) gynecological exam (30 minutes), or for a gyn problem (20 minutes).

  • Please be sure to schedule your annual gynecological exam when you will NOT have your period.

  • Appointments are scheduled by calling 212-305-3400 during the hours SHS is open.
Getting birth control at the Student Health Service

If you are already on birth control, but would like to get your prescription at the Student Health Service, you will need to make an appointment with one of the clinicians. Make sure we have the records from your most recent gynecological exam (within 12 months).

If you would like to start birth control, you should also make an appointment with one of the clinicians to review your options. You will also need to have had a gynecological exam within the past 12 months. If it has been longer, all of our clinicians are experienced in women’s health and would be happy to see you.
