General information

The AUA Health Clinic opened its doors first in 1994. In July 2001 the Clinic was aligned under the Center for Health Services Research and Development (CHSR) within the College of Health Sciences.

The mission of the AUA Health Clinic is to address primary health care needs of AUA students, faculty, and staff. In addition to preventive health care and education, its services include first aid and medical care for acute medical problems. Referrals are provided for chronic care and conditions beyond the scope of the clinic. Services within the clinic are free of charge. Medications are limited, but the physician can order medications, which the patients may purchase at nearby drugstores.

The AUA Health Clinic is open Monday through Friday from 09:00 to 18:00 . Consultations are provided by appointment or on a walk-in basis during morning sick call hours (09:30-12:30). Emergencies may be seen anytime during operational hours.

Health Screening Program

AUA Health Clinic sponsored and conducted the Preventive Health Program 2002 in which health screening and health promotion counseling were provided for approximately 130 University employees. Examples of the age-specific and gender specific screening tests were the following: mammography, Pap smear, cholesterol and glucose check, weight, and blood pressure check. Visual acuity screenings were conducted at CHSR's Garo Meghrigian Eye Institute for the Preventive Ophthalmology. Major areas of health promotion counseling were in the areas of smoking cessation and recommended dietary changes. The program was free of charge; discounted fees were negotiated for those patients requiring follow-up referrals at other health care facilities. Feedback from the program was positive with recommendation for additional opportunities.
