We are looking for enthusiastic writers willing to share their knowledge with others on the specialty of Urgent Care medicine. Case reports, review articles, op-ed pieces, tricks of the trade, hot topics or even poems or other art relevant to the practice of Urgent Care are accepted. Have a colleague who has done something unique or outstanding? Let us know. We learn from each other, so if you have something to share, please consider writing an article for the official publication of the College of Urgent Care Medicine. Have a good idea but not sure where to start? We are happy to help.
We also need more peer reviewers (time commitment of less than a one-hour per quarter). Reviewers read an article, make sure it is relevant and evidence-based and complete a one-page form with their findings.
You may submit online or email Tracey or Cesar with any comments, suggestions or brainstorming ideas.
The deadline for the next issue is December 10, 2024. We can’t wait to see what you will submit.
Urgent Updates are curated highlights of guidelines, reviewed by (and some directly coming from) Urgent Care clinicians. These highlights represent the actual intent of these articles and how they relate to the practice of Urgent Care medicine.
