Our Role

The College of Urgent Care Medicine leads clinical practice excellence in the field of Urgent Care.

Urgent Care Medicine Competencies

Learn Urgent Care Provider Competencies (including the necessary equipment, supplies, and support staff) to be available during all posted hours for walk-in patients of all ages (unless specifically advertised and clearly represented as an age-limited center).

Antibiotic Stewardship

Urgent Care providers make clinical prescribing decisions for over 210 million patients each year. However, around 30% of antibiotics prescribed in outpatient settings are unnecessary, according to the CDC.

Urgent Caring Publication

See archived articles of the official newsletter of the College of Urgent Care Medicine. Urgent Caring, published quarterly, includes editorials, case studies, expert insights, Urgent Updates and more.
