The Student Health fee:
If you are receiving calls from anyone at the Student Health Centre, it is at the request of your practitioner (physician or nurse practitioner).
We contact students for a variety of reasons (follow up, test results, appointment changes, questions, etc.)
The sooner you contact us, the more efficiently we can perform our duties, and you can be on your way.
If a specialist is currently following you, the specialist can make a direct referral to a specialist in Fredericton to ensure your care plan.
If you wish to be followed by one of our practitioners, you should bring any relevant medical history, test results, specialist reports, etc and provide them to one of our nursing staff upon arrival at UNB.
For continuity of care we prefer the same practitioner follows you throughout your stay in university.
