Emergency consultation services (615-322-2427) are available by phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week from on-call professionals.
The Student Health Center does not have an infirmary. Patients requiring observation after hours because they are too ill to return to the residence halls will be observed and/or treated at the Vanderbilt Emergency Department.
If your health problem is not life-threatening, you have consulted our after hours line, and you prefer going to a urgent care/walk-in clinic for immediate assistance, please visit our Community Resources for urgent care/walk in clinic locations and phone numbers.
Vanderbilt University has also contracted with Mantra Health to provide students access to 24/7 telemedicine services (not affiliated with Student Health or the Medical Center). Mantra Health provides care for physical and mental health concerns after-hours when local Urgent Care clinics, Student Health, and the University Counseling Center are closed. There are no charges for these services on Self-Care, Emotional Wellness Coaching, Productivity Coaching, Therapy and more. For more information about Mantra Health's Care Hub, visit the Student Care Network website. It's easy to use your @vanderbilt.edu email address to get started.
