But some students who have been treated at UHS have expressed concerns about the quality of RSI treatment and prevention efforts.
While UHS says it has been working hard to educate students about RSI prevention as well as providing quality care for those students suffering from RSI, some students say UHS has not done enough.
UHS officials agree, and over the past year have been stepping up efforts to improve all aspects of RSI care, including physician education, prevention seminars and more accessible physical therapy.
Chief of Medicine at UHS Christopher M. Coley says during the peak times around reading period and final exams, between 12 and 14 students visit primary care physicians at UHS each day complaining of symptoms of RSI.
Coley says the normal procedure at UHS is for students to be seen first by a primary care physician. Depending upon the severity of a patient's symptoms, the primary care physician will either refer the patient to a specialist or to a physical therapist.
