Medical Clinic

Your throat is sore? It hurts to urinate? You think you’ve sprained your ankle? Make an appointment at the Student Health Center. We offer same-day appointments Monday through Friday, so you can get in, get treated, and get back to your life.

If you have an urgent (but not life-threatening) injury or illness, call us at 812-855-7688 or come to room 216 so we can get you the care you need.

With our state-of-the-art diagnostic imaging, you don’t have to leave campus to get the X-rays you need. You can even get a copy of your high-quality digital X-rays suitable for sharing with a physical therapist or orthopedist. Our experienced team can assess your injury, take an X-ray, and refer you to a specialist for treatment.

We can only X-ray you if we get an order from a health care provider. You can make an appointment at our medical clinic, or have your family doctor send in an X-ray order. We accept orders from any U.S. medical provider (except chiropractors).

It generally takes two to three days to get a routine appointment (such as an annual checkup) with one of our medical providers. But once you arrive, you can expect to get treated quickly.

From genital exams to gender-affirming hormone therapy, our Gender Affirming Care Team has the specialized knowledge to give you the care you need in a comfortable, understanding environment.

If your allergist has you on allergy immunotherapy, you can get your shots at the Student Health Center. Your allergist will prescribe and mix the serum, order the dosage schedule, and either mail the serum to us or give it to you to hand deliver. We’ll store your serum in a monitored refrigerator.

We offer a safe and convenient place for you to receive therapeutic medication injections ordered by your home provider. Examples of injections we can give include (but are not limited to):

• Humira

We will give only those medications which are approved by the FDA and which have been prescribed and ordered for you by a licensed U.S. medical provider.

Before your first injection

1. Your provider must complete and submit a Therapeutic Injection order sheet to provide our nursing staff with instructions and dosage information.
2. You can either bring your medication with you or have your prescription sent to our pharmacy, where you can easily pick it up and bring it to your appointment.
