- Inform about treatment options, including medications
- Prescribe and manage medications for mental health conditions, including confirmed diagnoses of Attention Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
- Refer to UHS Psychiatry Clinic or UHS Eating and Body Image Concerns Clinic for consultation (available only to U-M students or UHS Prepaid Plan members who have a referral from a UHS clinician)
