The College of St. Scholastica's maurices Community Clinic

A unique, hands-on opportunity for health science students to provide a much-needed service to the community at large while gaining invaluable, real-world clinic experience.

Hands-on Learning for a Healthier Community

The student-run maurices Community Clinic offers physical and occupational therapy services to people with little or no insurance, and to the St. Scholastica Community. The clinic is located at our new Health Science Center at BlueStone and was made possible through a generous gift from maurices. Care is supervised by program faculty.

The clinic offers invaluable interprofessional educational experiences. Students from St. Scholastica’s Occupational Therapy and Physical Therapy programs, UMD’s Pharmacy program and the Lake Superior College Physical Therapy Assistant program collaborate to provide a variety of services to patients.

  • Home exercise program instruction

  • Balance training
  • Postural education

Occupational Therapy Services

Can anyone visit the clinic?

The clinic will provide services for children, teens and adults who do not have health insurance or are underinsured. Adults are treated in both fall and spring, and children are treated only during the spring.

Faculty, staff and students at The College of St. Scholastica are also welcome to schedule an appointment with the clinic.

You do not need to be referred to the maurices Community Clinic. While referrals from primary care providers are appreciated, they are not required to receive care.

What can I expect from my first visit?

At your first appointment you will have an evaluation with a student therapist. You’ll cover issues such as your health, concerns, goals and current status.

The student, working with faculty, will then establish a plan to help you achieve your goals. Your follow-up treatment will be provided by either occupational therapy, physical therapy, physical therapy assistant students or a combination.
