THE INS QUÉBEC SPORTS MEDICINE CLINIC ADDS TWO NEW SERVICES

Clients of the INS Québec sports medicine clinic can now take advantage of two new services: a walk-in clinic and a sexual health clinic. These additions are in line with the Institute’s desire to offer comprehensive and holistic health care to its affiliated athletes.

“By offering these services directly at the Institute’s Complex, we hope that athletes will be more likely to consult when the need arises. They will also be able to obtain a faster service that will avoid missing training sessions and the stress that this can cause,” explains Dr. Suzanne Leclerc, Director of Sport Medicine at INS Québec.

Walk-in clinic

As of now, the sports medicine clinic offers walk-in hours for consultations with a nurse from INS Québec. It is possible to consult for a variety of minor health problems, such as: urinary, gastrointestinal, respiratory, dermatological symptoms, etc. The nurse can quickly manage many situations and if necessary, the athlete will be referred to a physician.

Sexual Health Clinic

The INS Québec sports medicine clinic adds to its services one day per month dedicated to sexual health.

During this day, clients will be able to consult with an INS Québec nurse on various topics related to sexual health. The following services will be available by appointment:

• STI screening: Same day assessment and sampling, as well as results within two weeks.
• Contraception: general advice, initiation, renewal or modification
• Pap test
• HPV and other vaccinations
• Discussion and resources on sexual orientation, gender identity and expression

Other services are also available daily and without appointment, such as emergency contraception and advice and referrals on unplanned pregnancy.
