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 do not have a local family doctor.

If you cannot make your appointment, please call and cancel. If you have had three "no-show" appointments, you will need to speak to the Clinic about future bookings. No-show appointments may result in a cancellation fee being charged to your student account.

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