Make a Primary Care Appointment

Primary Care Appointments at UHS

  • For new problems or concerns requiring an evaluation
  • Follow-up from prior visits
  • If you wish to request a referral or need to establish care with your primary care provider to manage ongoing medical issues.

All students are automatically assigned to a Primary Care Provider and a clinic team. You may change your Primary Care Provider online at any time. Visit our Meet the Staff page to learn more about our Primary Care providers. Not sure if you need a phone, video, or in-person appointment, see our appointment guide.
