Defining urgent care medicine
As part of our commitment to raising the standard of health care, Concentra is funding development of the first academic curriculum designed specifically for the practice of urgent care medicine. Core Content in Urgent Care Medicine is being developed in collaboration with the Urgent Care Association of America and Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine. It is currently the only educational program focused on the complexities of urgent care medicine.
