Hear from the clinicians and institutions shaping urgent care medicine's academic future.
"SAUCM fills a critical gap. Urgent care has been practicing without an academic home for too long. Being a founding institution means we help define what that home looks like."
"The UCC platform alone is worth membership. Our clinicians now have point-of-care decision support that was purpose-built for urgent care, not adapted from emergency medicine."
"As a fellowship program director, SAUCM gives me a peer network, a curriculum scaffold, and a journal to publish our outcomes research. That is three problems solved at once."
"Our health system joined because we believe urgent care medicine deserves the same academic infrastructure that emergency medicine built over the last four decades. SAUCM is building it."
Fifteen prestigious institutions have joined SAUCM™ as founding members, representing leaders in urgent care education and research across the United States.
