Whether you’re just starting out, need to catch up to speed, or refresh your memory for a certain procedure, Urgent Care Bootcamp is an indispensable resource and ongoing reference tool for any urgent care clinician. Access it virtually anywhere for in-the-moment reference on shift, or for on-the-go learning.

Make sure your entire team is prepared with a final assessment and Certificate of Completion.

An optional 100-question exam assesses urgent care clinical readiness and, upon successful completion, unlocks a formal certificate officially endorsed by the College of Urgent Care Medicine.

Experience the only course truly created for the urgent care setting.

Urgent Care Bootcamp was built from scratch by seasoned UC practitioners.
