Is Student Health still offering routine visits for other health care needs?
Our COVID-19 patients are evaluated in a separate part of the clinic, so your safety is always our priority if you seek care at the Student Health Center. Routine appointments can be scheduled online through MHAV or by calling 615-322-2427. Some needs can be met with telemedicine visits---when scheduling on-line, please indicate in your appointment notes that you'd prefer telemedicine, and we will try to accommodate that request. Because licensing laws which govern telemedicine, your location may determine whether we can do your visit in that manner.
