Medical Records for Current Students and Alumni

Health Services currently uses an electronic medical record, PyraMED. Students and alumni can access some of their record (ex: immunization record, lab results) through the Health Services Portal. The login is the same as your Skidmore email. 

To have medical records sent to an outside provider please complete the Release of Information form with the detailed contact information and fax to Health Services at 518-580-5556. 

To request that additional records be made available through the Health Services Portal please call (518-580-5550) or e-mail (health@skidmore.edu) Health Services with details.

By New York State Law* Health Services is required to maintain records for 6 years after a student graduates.  Records, including immunization records, may be available for longer than this through the electronic medical record and your Health Services Portal. 

Students who attended Skidmore prior to initiation of the electronic medical record (2016) had paper records. These records were kept for 6 years and then destroyed.  As of 2023 Health Services maintains no paper medical records.

*“medical records shall be retained in their original or legally reproduced form for a period of at least six years from the date of discharge” (10 N.Y. Comp Codes R. & Regs. 405.10)
