Not only is it a free clinic. But theres another element that makes it stand out. Clinic on the unr campus provides Free Health Care to patients. Regardless of their ability to pay. That means whether you have insurance or not. You wont have to pay out of pocket in most cases. Since the passage of the Affordable Care act. More people are able to get health insurance. No. No .

Spogen we are really undoctored in northern nevada in most specialty areas, especially in the primary care area. And so, getting in to a physician may be something thats really difficult to do. The entire clinic is run by students. Most of which are in their first or second year of medical school. Which means theyre getting valuable handson experience that they wouldnt otherwise get. Pavelka most schools, the students will maybe get some hands on training at the school itself, but then they jump right into rotations at a hospital having never really dealt with real patients. This allows our students to do so. So, its a much smoother transition, which is not only better for the students, but better for the patients theyre going to see. Not only do students get to learn how to deal with patients and wide range of Health Issues up close. Except with the ibruprofen part of the picture, i would think maybe its a gurd situation. We see a lot of patients with chronic hypertension, diabetes, cholesterol disorders. So, we can manage all those as well as acute problems. And if it turns out that you have a more severe problem that the student outreach clinic cant treat. The staff will find a way to help you pay for your treatment elsewhere. For patients who are really having trouble accessing healthcare, were here for them, and they will get excellent care while theyre here. So i would just encourage patients to know that. The student outreach clinic is open every saturday and one tuesday a month. If youd like more information just go to our website kolotv. Com and click on hot topics. Looking to adopt a new pet .
