When
students enter UF, they are automatically assigned to
a medical "Team".
The SHCC has 6 internal teams composed of physicians,
physician assistants, nurse practitioners, registered
nurses, and
other support staff, and they operate much like a small
doctor's office. This enables each patient to return
to the same group of providers for continuity of care.
(Patients
may switch to another team, if they wish.) The first
time a student visits or calls for an appointment, he
or she
learns about this automatic team assignment. From then
on, the patient can call the team directly to schedule
appointments. Familiar faces and backup medical personnel
are a bonus of this system! Feel free to call the SHCC
at 392-1161 if you are not sure which is your Team.
