Medical Q and A
Miami's Student Health Services provides comprehensive outpatient care to all eligible students, including limited Saturday hours. However, because students can require treatment during non-business hours, we have provided the following questions and answers. Miami does not endorse any of these providers, nor does Miami assume any responsibility or liability for any services of listed providers.
Can my student give me permission to speak with health providers at the Student Health Service?
Yes, students can give permission for Student Health to speak with a parent, family member, or other person by completing the Involvement of Care form in the Student Health Service.
Some families also work with their student to complete a medical power of attorney for instances where the student cannot speak or make decisions for themself.
