Appointments

To make a primary care appointment or reach a medical team:
Call (352) 392-1161, then enter 3 and follow the recorded instructions.

To make a specialty care appointment:
Call (352) 392-1161, then enter 7 and follow the recorded instructions.

The Student Health Care Center is primarily appointment-based, with the exception of urgent illness or injury, so please PHONE FIRST rather than walking in for regular care. For the best times or same-day appointments, call early in the day.

  • HOURS OF OPERATION: Click here for a list of our locations and hours of operation. Visit the SHCC Google calendar for information on holidays and adjusted schedules during breaks.
  • PARKING: Should you need to drive to main campus and park for your appointment, proceed around the UF road barriers to the Infirmary Building at 1 Fletcher Drive. (NOTE: If stopped by the University Police Department, let them know you are en route to an SHCC appointment.) Park in one of the spots in front of the building, then go to the first floor help desk to obtain the required parking pass. Please note: 1) Should you receive a ticket but were at your SHCC appointment, notify us at shccqi@cns.ufl.edu so we may help. 2) Should you park at the SHCC but are not there for an appointment, your car may be towed and/or other parking restrictions enforced. Please respect our patients’ needs and find an alternative.
  • CANCELLATIONS: If you are unable to make an appointment, please call and let us know as soon as possible. Patients may be charged a no-show fee if they fail to arrive before the end of a scheduled appointment or fail to cancel within 24 hours of certain types of appointments, such as minor surgery, specialist visits and women’s health.
  • HEALTH HISTORY: You will be asked to fill out a Health History Questionnaire (PDF), which may be completed prior your appointment.
  • WALK-INS: Unless coming in for treatment of an urgent illness or injury, students who stop by to be seen will be given an appointment based on availability.

Don’t know to which medical team you are assigned? Call (352) 392-1161, then enter 3 and follow the recorded instructions.

  • NOTE: As team assignments are based on enrollment, your exact assignment may not be available till the first week of classes; however, we are happy to help you in any capacity should you need information or would like to see a medical provider or specialist prior to being assigned to a team.

Care for urgent illness or injury during normal business hours

The SHCC acute care and trauma clinic (Team E) sees patients with urgent illness or injury concerns during normal business hours. Urgent problems may also be seen in the primary care teams on a walk-in basis after consultation with a nurse. We are here to help you in your time of need!

Are you a medical or physician assistant student?

All medical and psychiatric physicians at SHCC hold faculty positions in the College of Medicine and, therefore, may have academic and/or clinical teaching responsibilities with medical and physician assistant students. Most of the teaching assignments bring the faculty member into direct contact and academic involvement with only a few students in each class year.

Because of the potential for conflict, medical and physician assistant students presenting for services at the SHCC or the SHCC@Shands satellite clinic will be given the option to see:

  • A faculty member who has not, and will not, have an academic role with them; or
  • A health care provider in the community. Costs may be reimbursed by any health insurance the student carries or may require an out-of-pocket expense.
