The College of Urgent Care Medicine leads clinical practice excellence in the field of Urgent Care.
Urgent Care medicine is unique, as are the clinicians who deliver it. The College of Urgent Care Medicine’s Clinical Response Committee has established and updated the clinician skills they believe are essential to care for frequent and less frequent patient presentations.
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.
