With the busy traveling time among us, please keep in mind that ACU has a telemedicine option available. UCM telemedicine is available for all ACU faculty and staff. Getting sick is never convenient, and finding time to get to a doctor can be hard. UCM allows you to access a doctor from your home, office or anywhere — 24/7/365 — and is a convenient and cost-effective way to receive health care for common conditions. UCM’s licensed providers can diagnose any non-emergency medical condition with a short phone visit or secure video visit. They can also prescribe medication and send prescriptions to the pharmacy of your choice. Access UCM by visiting their website goseesam.com or by one of their two apps UCM Now or Sam by UCM.
