All students are assigned a Primary Care Provider (PCP) at Ashe who is a physician, nurse practitioner, or physician assistant with training in family practice, pediatrics, or internal medicine. Primary care includes health education, disease prevention, health maintenance, counseling, patient education, diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic illnesses.
The Ashe Center is a Primary Care Medical Home. This means that all students are assigned to a Primary Care Provider (PCP) who leads the health care team that coordinates all aspects of your preventive, acute and chronic needs using the best available evidence and appropriate technology. These relationships offer comfort, convenience, and optimal health throughout your time as a student at UCLA. Our PCPs are physicians, nurse practitioners, or physicians assistants with training in family practice, pediatrics, or internal medicine. The health care team consists of the PCP, medical assistants, license vocational nurses, clinical coordinators, and registered nurses. All non-emergency care is coordinated through the Ashe PCP, including referrals to specialists.
