Bring the following essential items and information to college with you
-
Knowledge of your significant past medical history
-
Name, address, and phone number of personal physician and medical specialists
- Chronic Care: Students with significant chronic medical conditions should remain under the care of their off-campus treating physician &/or specialist for the ongoing management of these conditions. The Student Health Center (SHC) can work with the off-campus physician on an interim basis as needed, but primary responsibility for management of complex chronic conditions is beyond the SHC scope of practice.
