Same Day Medical Clinic

In 2023-2024, Health & Wellness made it easier for students to get the medical care they need, when they need it. It re-launched a same-day medical clinic on Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoons to give students faster access to a doctor when they have urgent physical health concerns.

The clinic offers same-day appointments to students who have urgent medical needs, such as infections, fever, cough, ear or eye concerns, injury or pain. Originally piloted in 2018, the same-day clinic was paused when, in response to Covid, appointments moved online. When the same-day medical clinic re-opened in September 2023, students no longer needed to go to a walk-in for urgent medical care; they can now get those services at Health & Wellness by making a same-day appointment.

These urgent appointments have made the medical care team at Health & Wellness more accessible than ever to students by providing 1,100 same-day appointments in 2023-2024 through the service.

Same-day medical appointments complement the existing same-day mental health appointments at Health & Wellness, ensuring students have timely access to health care services at the University of Toronto.
