UCCOM Fun Days

The UCCOM Fun Days are the product of an anonymous donation from a generous UCCOM alum. These days are intended to give UCCOM medical students opportunities to take a break from school, have fun, and make connections with other students. 

Let's Talk

Let’s Talk is a program which provides easy access to clinicians from UC’s Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS).

This service is available for all UC students to consult with a mental health professional, learn about support services, and get referrals. Let’s Talk is free and confidential. Students can meet with a clinician for a brief 15-20 minute conversation.

No appointment is necessary. Clinicians will listen to your concerns and may offer support, information, and resources.
