In addition to regular health checkups, Sophia University offers various health consultations, first aid, and hospital referrals in the Health and Wellbeing Center.
Although we do not provide treatments covered by insurance or prescribe medicines, we offer internal medicine consultation by a school physician, smoking cessation consultation, mental health consultation by a psychiatrist, and once-a-year consultation by a cardiologist. The content of consultations is kept strictly confidential for your peace of mind.
Medical checkups by the school doctor and consultations on internal medicine, in general, are available. For those who need it, the doctor can guide you to specialized medical institutions and health consultations* with specialists. We also offer smoking cessation counseling; referrals to smoking cessation outpatient clinics and other services are available upon request.
*A hospital referral letter will be issued only when deemed necessary as a result of a medical examination or for study purposes.
If you are experiencing mood swings, loss of motivation, difficulty going to class, or other mental health concerns, please use the “Mental Health Consultation” service. Psychiatrists are available for specialized consultations; referrals to specialized medical institutions are also available.
Consultation with a female doctor is available for women-specific health concerns and anxieties, as well as guidance on when to visit a hospital.
Feel free to talk to a nurse about any physical or emotional concerns you may have. If necessary, they can connect you to a doctor at the Health and Wellbeing Center or refer you to an on-campus counselor. If you need to see a hospital, you can also receive a referral to a medical facility.
First aid is available for injuries and sprains. If you are not feeling well and need to rest, you can also rest on available beds.
There are height and weight scales, body fat meters, automatic blood pressure meters, automatic vision meters, and grip strength meters at your disposal. You can also consult with the nurses regarding the measured values.
The Sophia University Telephone Health Counseling Service is available to help protect your mental and physical health. Health counseling, information on medical institutions, and mental health consultation are available to current students and their guarantors.
