Parents' Frequently Asked Questions
Q
My child is on daily medications. Can a SCC provider oversee this type of maintenance? A
Yes, our providers are board certified in internal medicine. The SCC is a full service healthcare center. Q
My child is on medications that require frequent blood tests. How do we get this done while away on campus? A
Your child should make an appointment to see a SCC provider. Our providers will document the condition and follow through with the appropriate care needed. Q
My daughter started the HPV series. Can she complete it at the SCC instead of returning to her doctor at home? A
Yes, the HPV vaccine is available at the SCC. A Nurse Visit appointment is required and documentation of any previous doses received. Remember that all vaccines are available at the SCC including those required for travel. Q
Can my child receive allergy injections at your office? A
We perform allergy injections in our office. We ask that the student make an appointment to see a provider first. The provider will give our nursing staff the clearance to administer the injections as ordered by the allergist. Q
If my child is sick, how does he/she get seen right away? A
First, your child should call the office to make an appointment. In most cases, there are same day appointments available, but during large volume times a nurse will evaluate and determine appropriate appointment scheduling. Q
Where should my child call when your office is closed? A
We have an after hours answering service which refers all calls to a physician on call. The physician on-call may direct the student as to go to the Emergency Room, call in prescriptions for acute illnesses, or appropriate self care instructions until the SCC is open. |
