OMED 8222 Urgent Care Elective Clerkship
This two-week experience is designed to provide experiential learning in urgent care medicine. Urgent care clerkships provide broad exposure to a wide variety of patient care skills, cognitive structures, and knowledge because of the scope of care provided. Because primary care physicians may not be available or physician’s offices may not be able to provide a timely appointment, urgent care physicians provide immediate care for the treatment of acute and chronic illness and injury that does not warrant the services of the emergency department. Integration and application of osteopathic principles and practice to the management of patients is encouraged.
