Benefits of UCAOA Membership
UCAOA is an association for urgent care professionals - physicians, nurses, nurse practitioners, physican assistants, administrators, billers - in short, anyone who is working in urgent care today.
Membership in UCAOA means having connections to the best Networking, Recognition, Education and Resources in the industry.

Education
UCAOA provides formal education in three ways - face to face meetings, audio CDs and our monthly Journal.
Face to Face
The Spring Convention, our premier annual event, brings together the largest number of urgent care professionals in the country. The Fall Conference provides a more focused learning experience with 1.5 intensive days of learning and networking.
Audio CDs
UCAOA provides recordings of most of our classes, so if you can't attend a conference you can still access the education. Click here to learn more.
Journal of Urgent Care Medicine
JUCM, the official journal of UCAOA, provides a mix of peer-reviewed articles addressing key clinical and practice management issues. JUCM is also available by paid subscription to non-members.
Resources
UCAOA continually builds our resource database, and most resources are available online, any time you need them.
Newsletters and Weblogs
Monthly email newsletters and regularly updated weblogs keep members up to date on what's happening at UCAOA and in the urgent care industry.
Articles and Sample Forms
Articles from our members, JUCM, and other sources can help you access background information on urgent care trends. Special members-only resources include timelines and equipment lists for starting a new center, sample job descriptions, sample forms for transferring patients, referrals, intake and discharge, and much more!
Regional Updates
Coming soon, our State Liaisons will be sharing events happening at the state level that may influence the entire urgent care industry.
