Course Overview

Urgent care occupies a unique clinical space between:

Primary Care ↔ Emergency Medicine

Clinicians must manage large numbers of patients efficiently while determining which problems can be treated safely in the clinic and which require escalation to the emergency department.

This requires competency across:

• Acute medical complaints
• Minor trauma
• Musculoskeletal injuries
• Common infections
• Pediatric complaints
• Dermatologic conditions
• ENT problems
• Eye complaints
• Occupational medicine
• Procedural care
• Diagnostic imaging
• ECG interpretation
• Clinical documentation
• Disposition decisions

The Hippo Urgent Care Bootcamp addresses these areas through concise clinical teaching and practical procedural demonstrations.

THE PRACTICE OF URGENT CARE

The course begins by addressing what makes urgent care different from other clinical environments.

Important topics include:

• The Practice of Urgent Care
• Efficient and Effective Charting
• Safe ED Referrals
• Shared Decision Making
• Sports Physicals
• Clinical Presentation
• Antibiotic Stewardship

Efficient Urgent Care Workflow

Urgent care requires clinicians to balance:

Speed + Diagnostic Accuracy + Patient Safety

The objective is not simply to see patients quickly.

Efficient urgent care means identifying:

• What must be done now
• What can safely wait
• What testing is necessary
• What testing is unnecessary
• What can be managed in clinic
• What requires emergency referral

Efficient & Effective Charting

Documentation in urgent care must support:

• Clinical decision-making
• Continuity of care
• Medical necessity
• Patient safety
• Disposition decisions

Clinicians need a charting strategy that is thorough without becoming inefficient.

Safe Emergency Department Referrals

One of the most important urgent care skills is knowing:

Who Should Not Stay in Urgent Care?

Referral decisions may depend on:

• Hemodynamic instability
• Severe respiratory distress
• High-risk chest pain
• Neurologic deficits
• Significant trauma
• Surgical abdomen
• Severe infection
• Need for advanced imaging
• Need for specialty intervention
• Need for continuous monitoring

Red Flags & Disposition

A practical urgent care framework is:

Low Risk → Treat & Discharge

Intermediate Risk → Investigate / Observe / Reassess

High Risk → Transfer or Refer to ED

Recognizing the patient who appears relatively stable but has a potentially dangerous diagnosis is a central part of urgent care practice.

Shared Decision Making

Not every clinical decision has one obvious answer.

Shared decision-making may be useful when discussing:

• Testing
• Imaging
• Antibiotic use
• Observation
• ED referral
• Follow-up

The clinician should explain risk, uncertainty and available options clearly.

ANTIBIOTIC STEWARDSHIP

Antibiotic stewardship is specifically included in the Urgent Care Bootcamp curriculum.

Urgent care clinicians frequently evaluate:

• Upper respiratory infections
• Sinus symptoms
• Pharyngitis
• Otitis
• Skin infections
• Urinary symptoms
• Respiratory infections

A central principle is:

Antibiotics Should Treat Appropriate Bacterial Disease—not Patient Expectations Alone.

Appropriate Antibiotic Prescribing

Clinical decisions should consider:

• Likely pathogen
• Probability of bacterial disease
• Disease severity
• Local resistance
• Drug allergies
• Patient comorbidities
• Previous antibiotic exposure

Avoiding unnecessary antibiotics helps reduce:

• Adverse effects
• Drug interactions
• C. difficile risk
• Antimicrobial resistance

COMMON CHIEF COMPLAINTS

The Hippo curriculum includes a symptom-based approach to common urgent care presentations.

Topics include:

• Abdominal Pain
• Acute Chest Pain
• Altered Mental Status
• Anorectal Complaints
• Dizziness
• Headache
• Kidney Stones
• Low Back Pain
• Shortness of Breath
• Syncope
• Testicular Pain
• Vaginal Bleeding
• Vaginitis
• Vomiting
• Diarrhea

Acute Chest Pain

Chest pain in urgent care requires rapid separation of:

Potentially Serious Cardiovascular / Pulmonary Disease

from:

Lower-Risk Outpatient Causes

The central question is not simply:

“What is causing the pain?”

but:

“Can this patient safely remain in urgent care?”

Cardiovascular Assessment

Important considerations can include:

• Acute coronary syndrome
• Arrhythmia
• Pulmonary embolism
• Aortic disease
• Musculoskeletal pain
• Gastrointestinal causes
• Anxiety-related symptoms

Appropriate testing and disposition depend on clinical risk.

Dizziness

Dizziness is a common but diagnostically challenging complaint.

Evaluation should clarify whether the patient describes:

• Vertigo
• Presyncope
• Disequilibrium
• Nonspecific lightheadedness

The presence of neurologic or cardiovascular warning signs may change disposition.

Headache

Urgent care clinicians commonly evaluate headache.

Important priorities include distinguishing uncomplicated primary headache syndromes from potentially dangerous secondary causes.

Red flags may prompt emergency evaluation or advanced imaging beyond the capability of the urgent care setting.

Syncope

Syncope assessment should consider:

• Cardiac causes
• Orthostatic mechanisms
• Vasovagal syncope
• Medication effects
• Neurologic mimics
• Metabolic causes

Risk stratification is essential.

Shortness of Breath

Differential diagnosis may include:

• Asthma
• Infection
• COPD
• Heart failure
• Pulmonary embolism
• Pneumothorax
• Other cardiopulmonary conditions

Clinicians must determine whether outpatient treatment is appropriate.

Abdominal Pain

Abdominal pain can range from benign self-limited disease to surgical emergencies.

Urgent care evaluation should consider:

• Location
• Severity
• Onset
• Associated symptoms
• Pregnancy status
• Vital signs
• Peritoneal findings
• Need for laboratory or imaging evaluation

Vomiting & Diarrhea

The curriculum covers both:

• Initial evaluation
• Common causes

Management depends on:

• Hydration
• Severity
• Duration
• Blood in stool
• Fever
• Travel
• Medication exposure
• High-risk patient factors

Low Back Pain

Most acute low-back pain encountered in outpatient practice is uncomplicated, but urgent care clinicians must recognize warning signs.

Potential red flags include:

• Significant neurologic deficits
• Major trauma
• Infection risk
• Malignancy risk
• Cauda equina symptoms

Kidney Stones

Evaluation of suspected renal colic involves:

• Pain pattern
• Urinary symptoms
• Infection risk
• Renal function considerations
• Appropriate imaging decisions
• Pain management
• Referral criteria

Testicular Pain

Acute testicular pain is particularly important because delayed recognition of certain diagnoses can result in significant morbidity.

Urgent evaluation must distinguish low-risk causes from conditions requiring immediate emergency or surgical assessment.

PEDIATRIC URGENT CARE

The core Urgent Care Bootcamp includes foundational pediatric content.

Pediatric urgent care requires special attention because:

• Vital signs differ by age
• Medication dosing is weight based
• Communication may involve caregivers
• Disease presentations vary by age
• Clinical deterioration can occur rapidly

Pediatric Red Flags

Potential red flags may include:

• Toxic appearance
• Respiratory distress
• Significant dehydration
• Altered mental status
• High-risk age groups
• Severe trauma

Hippo also offers a separate, more extensive Urgent Care Peds Bootcamp for clinicians requiring deeper pediatric-specific training.

COMMON INFECTIONS

Infection management is a major part of urgent care practice.

The curriculum includes evaluation of common outpatient infections and appropriate antimicrobial decision-making.

Definitive dental follow-up may still be required.

OCCUPATIONAL MEDICINE

Occupational health is an important part of many urgent care practices.

Potential issues include:

• Work-Related Injuries
• Return-to-Work Decisions
• Work Restrictions
• Exposure Evaluation
• Repetitive Motion Injury
• Documentation

Work-Related Injuries

The clinical diagnosis may be familiar, but occupational cases often introduce additional questions:
