Health Center Information

Our Health Center is staffed by Physicians, Mid-Levels (Physician Assistants or Nurse Practitioners), and Registered Nurses. All are trained in primary care medicine. Our goal is to provide the primary care support you need to succeed in your studies. We care for most common conditions and will assist with referrals to specialists or to the emergency room as needed. We do not intend to replace the care from your home physician but strive to support that care when possible at a primary care level.
​

**COVID-19 testing is currently available in the student health center as well. ​

Wards

Parking Information

​Permits are required to park on campus every day that regular classes are held, including the first day of the semester, but not “finals day”. Parking lots are patrolled between 8am and 4pm, Mon-Fri, for school parking permits. Typical rules and regulations are enforced 24/7. Plan accordingly when trying to find parking in the middle of the day and when lots are full.

Inspirational Message

President Eyring Inauguration ​ ​

“Ricks College and BYU-Idaho have a long tradition of meeting the needs of these students, largely through individual employees who seek the Holy Ghost’s guidance in their ministration. A particular hallmark of this institution has been an anxious concern for students who doubt their place here. But now our student body growth, along with the more complex and rigorous curricular offerings of a four-year institution, compounds the challenge of ministering one-by-one”
​- President Eyring. ​
