Medical Clinic

The TRU Medical Clinic services registered students who require medical support during their studies in Kamloops. The clinic provides a full range of medical services.

Some of our services include:

• allergy injections
• cold/flu/illness care
• physical exams (work and sports medicals as required)
• prescriptions and medication management
• minor procedures: ears syringing, suture removal
• birth control education and prescribing
• sexually transmitted infection (STI) screening and treatment
• immunizations
• pregnancy testing
• pap smear

The Medical Clinic is open from September to July from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. (closed in August and on all stat holidays and weekends). Emails and phones are answered throughout the day.

Three Physicians fill the full-time position on a rotating basis. Clinic staff also includes a Medical Office Assistant.

All matters are strictly confidential. Health Services retains medical documentation in a secure and confidential manner. Should students require access to these records, for any reason, please contact the Medical Office Assistant at trumedicalclinic@tru.ca.

Book an appointment

The TRU Medical Clinic serves registered on-campus students who require medical support during their time studying in Kamloops. Appointments are required as we are not a drop-in clinic. We ask students that already have a doctor in Kamloops to call that doctor’s office to make an appointment.

TRU staff and faculty are encouraged to use Telus Health Virtual Care, as the Clinic is intended for students who are not from Kamloops and so do not have a local family doctor. New TRU faculty and staff should be making every attempt to find local, on-going medical care as soon as they begin their employment. We may be able to fill some gaps on a short-term basis, but our priority is to serve students.

If you cannot make your appointment, please call and cancel. If you have had three "no-shows", you will need to speak to the Clinic about future bookings.

To book an appointment, email trumedicalclinic@tru.ca or call 250-828-5126. If you have questions, you can also drop by OM1461.
