Tips on Accessing Healthcare:

- Accessing Healthcare Outside of 成人VR视频:
- Consider calling or emailing to find out what safety protocols are in place before you go for walk-in services or an appointment.听
- International and Out-of-Province Students: Be prepared to pay cash up front. You may be partially reimbursed by your insurance provider or province after submitting a claim. 鈥淚nternational fees鈥� or 鈥渁dministrative charges鈥� are not reimbursable.
- Call medical clinics in advance to confirm if they are full.
- Be prepared to wait. Wait times in many听clinics can feel long!
- To see a medical specialist in Quebec (e.g. a dermatologist), you will need a referral from a primary care doctor. You can book an appointment at the Student Wellness Hub to get a referral.
