A student may be assigned to and followed by a specific physician if deemed most appropriate for ensuring quality care. Unless otherwise noted above, in order to assist with transition of care, students are able to access the Centre for services for one term following their last registered term (i.e. students who graduate in May are able to access services at the Centre until August 31).
