Antibiotic Stewardship
This was made possible by a grant to UCF.
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.
The Urgent Care Association, along with the College of Urgent Care Medicine (CUCM) and Urgent Care Foundation (UCF), are committed to Antibiotic Stewardship in Urgent Care — to help achieve the strategic objectives of the World Health Organization (WHO) global action plan for addressing antimicrobial resistance (AMR).

Created by Hippo Education with Urgent Care Association and Urgent Care Foundation and supported by the CDC, this audio course gives you a practical approach to prescribing guidelines, real-world examples, and the skills to talk through the “why” with any patient.
