Urgent Care Focused Guideline Highlights

The following are highlights of guidelines from other groups reviewed by Urgent Care physicians. Our intent is to assure these highlights represent the actual intent of these articles and how they relates to the practice of urgent care medicine. These highlights are not intended to substitute for independent medical judgement nor are they intended to establish a standard of care. CUCM recommends at minimum reading those portions of these articles that relate to the scope of care you provide.
