Welcome from Director David McBride, M.D.
Dr. David McBride
You often don't realize how much your trusted Family Physician or health care provider means to you until you're away at University and don't have them around any more. Taking good care of yourself and negotiating the health care system can be daunting without the immediate help of family members. Fortunately, Boston University has a caring and competent staff dedicated to helping to meet your health care needs.
As a full time student at Boston University, you have access to a team of first-rate medical and behavioral health providers. We will work closely with you and other campus resources to meet your health care needs. I look forward to leading BU Student Health Services as we work toward a campus-wide approach to health and wellness for students.
We are glad to help with a range of needs from giving advice on your cold to helping to interpret complicated medical information, as needs arise. Many of our services are provided without immediate cost to full time students and others have an associated fee. Please stop by to learn more about BU Student Health Services.
Feel free to call at 617-353-3575 or stop by if you have any questions about our services
Health Advisory |
Student Health Services is recommending that all students with upper respiratory symptoms isolate themselves from the general student population. Unless symptoms are severe, students should not leave their homes to seek medical attention. This is consistent with an advisory from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health. Isolation should continue until symptoms have resolved, plus 24 hours. Please feel free to call Student Health Services with any questions. |
