USU Family Medicine

University Family Health Center

The University Family Health Center (UFHC) is dedicated to providing comprehensive personal and family centered care to active duty students, faculty, their families and other DoD beneficiaries assigned to the Uniformed Services University (USU). The UFHC is a TRICARE PRIME clinic. All medical students are required to enroll with the UFHC as their primary care manager site. Active Duty Graduate Students and all Family members may enroll in Tricare Prime and be assigned a UFHC family physician as their primary care manager. DoD eligible patients not enrolled to Tricare Prime or enrolled to another Tricare Prime site may be seen on a same-day space available basis.

The UFHC is located on the first floor in building A in room A1046. The clinic is open from 0715 to 1600 Monday through Friday. On Tuesday afternoon (after 1200) the clinic is open for administrative issues only. Patients are seen by appointment only, except in the event of an emergency. Patients needing appointments, either routine or same day for acute problems should call (301) 295-3630. First and Second year medical students may request a "sick-call" appointment or quarters authorization by calling the clinic. After-hours medical advice can be obtained by contacting the After-Hours Answering Service at 1-800-747-3661, to request to speak with the physician who is on call for the UFHC.

Parking for the UFHC is available in the general parking areas of the USUHS parking deck. If the parking deck is full, you may park in the reserved spaces in the carpool section of the parking garage. If there are no spaces available at that location then patients should check with the security office on the ground floor for parking instructions.
