About Us
CSU Channel Islands Student Health Services (SHS) is a medical clinic dedicated to providing compassionate, accessible and professional health care to CI’s diverse student population. We provide basic medical services, experiential learning opportunities and promote students’ social, emotional and physical well being in order to enhance the CI students’ academic experience. SHS is a department within the Division of Student Affairs and is administered under the supervision of the Dean of Students in Student Life. The clinic is affiliated with the Ventura County Medical System, a division of the Ventura Health Care Agency. We function as an outpatient clinic staffed (in shifts) by one physician and two nurse practitioners. Health services are similar to those provided by your family physician. Only currently enrolled students are eligible to be seen at the clinic. Please visit our Health Services page for a more comprehensive list of what we offer. If a problem requires medical care beyond the scope of the clinic's available facilities, a referral is made to outside professional care.
SHS operates like a typical doctor’s office. We are not an urgent care facility. If you are experiencing a life threatening medical emergency, please call 911.
Appointments are strongly encouraged. Walk-in visits are accommodated as the schedule allows; however, priority is given to previously scheduled appointments. Every attempt will be made to provide same-day service to students with acute illnesses or urgent concerns.
