- Minor wound care

Clinical staff
Our staff are fully licensed and credentialed and include physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and nurses.
You may find it helpful to select one clinician as your primary care provider (PCP). This is someone you can contact on the patient portal for all of your healthcare needs during your time at U-M. Depending on your needs, working with a provider who gets to know you can help improve your healthcare experience. We can also help recommend a provider for you. Learn more about our clinicians.
If you do not have a specific PCP at UHC or if that person is unavailable when you need care, you can see any UHC clinician.
If you need more advanced evaluation or treatment, we may refer you to one of our specialty clinics or to a clinic outside of UHC.
