Medical Services

The Student Health Care Center (SHCC) provides a wide variety of medical services to students at UF. From immunizations, flu shots, dermatologic care and women’s health care to physical therapy, prescriptions, nutrition services and sports medicine, almost all students’ needs can be taken care of at the SHCC’s main campus clinic. Additionally, satellite clinics at Shands and Corry Village offer various services.
 
When students enter UF, they are automatically assigned to one of six “teams” comprised of physicians, physician assistants, advanced registered nurse practitioners, registered nurses and other health specialists.

The first time a student visits or calls for an appointment, he or she learns about this automatic team assignment. From then on, the patient can call the team directly to schedule appointments. Operating much like a small doctor’s office, the SHCC enables each patient to return to the same group of providers for continuity of care. Familiar faces are a bonus of this system!

How to Make an Appointment

Appointments for regular evaluation, chronic problems and follow-ups should be made by calling (352) 392-1161. The SHCC strives to provide convenient appointments with health care providers within 24 hours (during normal business hours) if patients use the “phone first” scheduling system, and students who use this system are typically seen within 15 minutes of their scheduled appointment time. “Walk-ins” are also accepted and are seen on a first come, first served basis
