MEDICAL / POLYCLINIC

The main Polyclinic is located in the Health Sciences Building

The Polyclinic is available for athletes, coaches and managers for medical, therapeutic and pharmaceutical purposes by physicians, nurses and therapists. Other on-call referral services will be available (dentists and optometrists). 

Athletes must be accompanied by a coach, manager, or Mission Staff on their initial visit. A physician’s referral is required for all services offered at the Polyclinic. Services are available on a first come, first served basis. 

Appointments can be booked in-person, online, by phone or by email. 

Pre-competition taping will be available at the Polyclinic and sport venues. Athletes should organize their time to avoid wait times and any last-minute taping that could cause delays. Kineso tape will not be available; if you want kineso tape, please bring your own.
