SIUC Clinical Center
The Clinical Center at Southern Illinois University Carbondale has been part of the Southern Illinois community since 1958. The Clinical Center serves as a training and research site for various campus departments that train professionals for work in health-care and educational services. In that training and research capacity we provide a range of services designed to improve the lives of the individuals we serve. Our clients come from many walks of life. Some are associated with SIUC, many are not. The Clinical Center is located in the first floor, west wing of the Wham Education Building, Room 141.
The Clinical Center is open to the general public as well as to members of the SIUC community. We are committed to meeting the needs of our clients regardless of race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, or differential abilities.
The majority of the services are provided by clinicians-in-training who are supervised by faculty or Clinical Center staff. Staff members and faculty also provide limited direct service. Your needs will be carefully reviewed and matched with an appropriate clinician to provide you with the best service possible.
We are committed to protecting and maintaining your confidentiality. No information about you or the service you receive will be released without your written permission unless it is required by law.
The Clinical Center does charge fees. However, because of our educational and research missions, they are much lower than those charged by most other health-care practitioners. A sliding fee scale provides an additional reduction in fees for those with limited incomes. You can call or email (bgilbert@siu.edu) for more information about the cost of a particular service.
