myvirtualdoctor
A virtual healthcare service that provides 24/7 access to licensed healthcare professionals, including nurses and doctors. This convenient and accessible program ensures that students can receive medical support anytime, from anywhere.
MyVirtualDoctor is a fully refundable, opt-out program. A student referendum was held from October 3, 2024, at 9:00 AM to October 7, 2024, at 11:59 PM, asking whether the program should be implemented for the upcoming academic year (Fall 2025).
The students have voted, and the referendum was approved. As a result, MyVirtualDoctor will be implemented starting Fall 2025.
