Hours/Location During the academic
year, Clinic hours for appointments are scheduled Monday through Friday, The Clinic is located
on the 2nd floor of Laurel Hall. This area has a separate
reception and waiting areas and is not accessible by the front stairs; enter
at the side door near the parking lot and use the elevator or stairs near
that entrance. The waiting room has a
self check-in computer which will
require you to have your UD ID. Routine
Gynecological Annual Exam with or without Prescription Renewal Please call 4-6 weeks in
advance to schedule this appointment. If your prescription for birth control will run out before the
scheduled visit, please let the nurse/receptionist know so that the triage
nurse can arrange for you to pick up a prescription for one month extra to
take you through to the appointment visit. If you have had a complete exam at another facility (e.g., doctor or
nurse practitioner at home, Planned Parenthood, public health clinic) in the
last 10 months, you may obtain copies of these records and bring them or have
them faxed to the Student Health Gyn Clinic as
verification. That exam should include
a pelvic and breast exam, pap smear, and STI test results if performed. Original prescriptions for hormonal methods
from outside care providers can NOT be filled at the Student Health
Prescription Supply Store. Emergency
Contraception If you need Emergency Contraception and are under the age of 18, please
call 831-8035 during the regular week hours so we can schedule you with a
nurse to expedite care. Emergency Contraception is now available over the counter without a prescription for women over
the age of 17. EC can be bought at any
of the local pharmacies according to the store hours, or can also be
purchased at our SHS Supply Store (Monday-Friday, 8:30am-12noon, 1pm-4pm.) Please keep in mind that EC is most effective if taken within 72 hours,
but can be taken out to 120 hours from an unprotected act of
intercourse. For more information,
review the Contraception/Emergency Contraception link below. HPV Vaccine The new HPV (Human Papillomavirus) Vaccine is
now available for administration at SHS for an additional charge. In order to receive the vaccine, you will
want to schedule yourself for a consult visit with the Womens Health
Department (831-8035) before you can be scheduled with the Immunization
Clinic. For more information on the Vaccine, you can check out the CDC website
at: Pregnancy Testing
and Counseling Call for an appointment.
Non-directive counseling is available regarding all pregnancy options
& alternatives. These appointments
will be scheduled once a period is missed.
We do like to have the first morning urine for testing accuracy. Appointments for
Gynecological Problems and STD Screening & Counseling Please call for an appointment.
Patients with urgent problems will be seen as soon as possible, but
please call in advance to speak with the triage nurse, that way we can
determine how best to meet your needs.
If you are uncomfortable or very worried, we always try to arrange for
you to be seen the same day you call, but that is not always possible. For less urgent problems, there may be a
several day wait. Patients who feel they have a simple urinary tract infection without
vaginal symptoms can be evaluated in the main SHS medical clinic also. Women's Health Information/Links
