HIPPO EDUCATION • URGENT CARE BOOTCAMP
Hippo Education Urgent Care Bootcamp – Complete On-Demand Course + Self-Assessment
Hippo Education Urgent Care Bootcamp is a comprehensive on-demand training program designed specifically for clinicians working in or preparing for urgent care practice. The course combines concise clinical lectures with extensive practical instruction covering common urgent care presentations, diagnostic evaluation, procedures, ECG interpretation, X-ray interpretation, point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS), trauma, pediatrics, infections, wound management, musculoskeletal injuries, and more.
Built around short, focused lessons, Urgent Care Bootcamp emphasizes practical knowledge that can be applied to everyday patient care. The curriculum covers both common presentations and potentially serious conditions that urgent care clinicians need to recognize and manage appropriately.
A major strength of the program is its extensive procedural curriculum, including suturing, laceration repair, nerve blocks, arthrocentesis, joint reduction, splinting, incision and drainage, foreign body removal, ophthalmologic procedures, epistaxis management, ultrasound, ECGs, and radiographic interpretation.
