Student Health Services' mission focuses on students' health needs, providing primary medical care paid for by the students through the General University Fee. Pharmacy, X-ray, Physical Therapy, Allergy Clinic, Mental Health, and some specialized medical exams are charged for additionally when needed. We recommend that graduate assistants use their employee group insurance coverage to become a patient at the private medical practice most convenient to them. Cash and check are the only way to insure your parent does not inadvertantly see the charge on the fee bill. If you have a common cold, you may be eligible to participate in a drug study being conducted by Dr. Mary Manton at Student Health Services.
Monetary compensation is available.
Not at this time. There is a shortage of tetanus toxoid. The Centers for Disease Control initially expected the shortage to be resolved early this year. It now looks like supplies will not be replenished until mid-2002. Until then, tetanus toxoid is being rationed to clinics and hospitals for wound care.
