Convenient and Urgent Care Community
Engage, Learn, Network and Progress Practice in Convenient Care
With urgent care growing faster than any other form of health care delivery, there are more and more opportunities for NPs to get involved. The Convenient Care Community offers a unique opportunity to interactively collaborate with colleagues who share interest or clinical expertise in convenient care. As a community member, you’ll have access to a cutting-edge, online forum where you can engage in discussions, document sharing and knowledge exchange with fellow nurse practitioners (NPs). Come learn, share and help progress the development of theory and practice in convenient care.
