The student also will continue to have the option of seeking acute care from his/her primary care physician in WFU Family Medicine.

Each student is assigned to a primary care physician (PCP) who is a faculty member in the Department of Family and Community Medicine. Students are encouraged to utilize their PCPs for all acute or chronic health problems for which they might not normally wish to visit Employee Health Services. The earlier hour availability at the Employee Health Services Acute Care Clinic might allow students to be seen for acute care problems prior to the beginning of their daily classes or clerkship rotations. Employee Health’s nursing services are also available from 7:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Problems may be referred to the PCP at the discretion of Employee Health.

Contact Dr. Scott Spillmann (716-8036) or Helen Cooper (716-1309) at Employee Health with questions regarding the Student Health Service. Contact Kelly Rockwell (716-3724), Department of Family and Community Medicine, with questions regarding PCPs.
