Our team is working hard to reach out to students as soon as possible. Call 780-492-5205 to reach us during business hours. Thank you for your understanding!
Psychiatrists are medical doctors who specialize in mental health. They can assess, diagnose and prescribe medication for students struggling with more complex mental health concerns.
To access a psychiatrist you need a referral from a physician at the University Health Centre or from your family doctor.
Psychiatrists will assess, treat, and stabilize patients, and then refer them back to their physician for routine follow up and maintenance.
Late Cancellation/No-show Policy
There is high demand for initial assessments with psychiatry. You will be charged a $50 fee if you no show or cancel without 24 hours notice. You will also be moved to the bottom of the waitlist, which may result in a 3-6 month wait for services.
