Walk-in Clinic
 
 
The Mood Disorders Association of BC, in conjunction with Drs. Ron Remick, Chris Gorman, and Judy Allen operate a weekly psychiatric clinic for MDA members. Clinic hours are Wednesdays from 9 -5pm and Thursdays with limited availablilty. Patients are seen for an initial individual assessment then follow up is offered in a group setting at one of two psychoeducational groups facilitated by the doctors; groups are held on Wednesdays at 11am and again at 1:30pm.

The psychoeducation groups are open to all clinic users and other interested parties. To find out which group your clinician is facilitating, please call the MDA office for information. There is no registration or fee for these groups. Please note these are not our peer-led support groups.  

Physicians may refer patients to our clinic using their own referral form or a generic fax to 604.873.3095. Once a referral is received in our office, patients will be contacted to book an individual appointment. No patients will be seen without a referral and a pre-booked appointment. Referrals should include:
 
-all patient information (name, address, birthdate, phone number, PHN)
-reason for referral 
-current medications 
-current concerns and any discharge notes
-referring doctor name, fax number and billing information


*Please ensure all patient and physician information is printed clearly on the referral.   

If patients do not have a current physician, they are instructed to attend First Care Medical Centre at 2590 Commercial Drive, Vancouver, to request a referral.
