Office of Student Care Coordination (OSCC)

Suite 305, Rand Hall

(615) 343-WELL (9355), vanderbilt.edu/carecoordination/

The Office of Student Care Coordination is committed to supporting undergraduate, graduate, and professional students in successfully navigating life events related to academic stress and/or medical, mental health, and/or other personal concerns that may interfere with a student’s ability to achieve their academic and personal goals. A team of Student Care Coordinators works collaboratively with students to identify and coordinate resources within Vanderbilt’s Student Care Network and in the Nashville community that may provide the best support for individual concerns. Our goal is for students to have the right support, in the right place, at the right time.

We do this by:

Responding to concerns from the Vanderbilt community about students in distress;
Providing a central access point to help students identify needs and appropriate on and off-campus resources that may help address these concerns;
Meeting one-on-one with students to develop a student success plan;
Facilitating connections to resources and providing accountability through supportive follow up meetings;
Providing referrals to off-campus resources, including mental healthcare providers;
Working in collaboration with campus partners, including the Center for Student Wellbeing, the University Counseling Center, the Student Health Center, the Office of Housing and Residential Experience, and faculty and staff to address student needs and maintain the safety and health of our students and community;
Supporting students returning from a Medical Leave of Absence;
Assisting in the development of self-advocacy skills that prepare students for involvement in the larger community and life beyond Vanderbilt

Though staff typically have a background in mental health services, it is important to understand that work with a Student Care Coordinator is not counseling or therapy. Rather, Student Care Coordinators have the opportunity to develop close helpful relationships with students while coaching them toward appropriate support resources, self-care, and self-advocacy.

Accessing the OSCC:

The OSCC is located on the third floor of Rand Hall. Students are encouraged to visit vanderbilt.edu/carecoordination/ to complete an initial assessment and schedule an appointment to meet with a Student Care Coordinator. Students may also call (615) 343-WELL (9355) or drop in to see a Student Care Coordinator, Monday-Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Appointments preferred by calling 615-322-2427 or scheduling online at www.vumc.org/student-health/online-appointments. Students may walk in, but waiting times vary.

Dispensary

The Student Health Center stocks several commonly used medications that our providers prescribe. The SHC purchases these items in bulk resulting in reduced cost and therefore can pass these savings on to our students. The dispensary is not a pharmacy and therefore we cannot fill prescriptions written by providers outside the Student Health Center.

Cost

The Vanderbilt Student Health Center receives its funding from your tuition and health fee dollars. Because of this, there is no charge for most routine office visits and many of the supplies, medications, or in-house lab tests. However, students may incur small charges for some medications that are dispensed, some vaccines, some lab tests, or for some office procedures (e.g. colposcopies) or sports medicine specialist services.

If charges are incurred, credit cards and the Commodore Care may be used for payment at the Student Health Center. Cash is not accepted as a method of payment.
