The American Board of Urgent Care Medicine (ABUCM) was established
in 1997 to serve as an independent certifying body for Urgent Care Medicine.
Urgent Care Medicine is defined as provision of immediate medical service
(no appointment necessary) offering outpatient care for the treatment of
acute and chronic illness and injury. Urgent Care Medicine requires a broad,
comprehensive fund of knowledge to provide such care. |
|
The ABUCM is committed to the certification of qualified urgent care physicians.
Certification by the ABUCM recognizes excellence in the discipline of
Urgent Care Medicine. The purpose of certification in urgent care medicine
is to define the domain of knowledge and clinical skills expected of the urgent care
physician, to provide a valid assessment of knowledge demonstrated by
the urgent care medicine physician, to encourage continued professional
development in the field of urgent care medicine, and to serve the public
by encouraging quality patient care.
The Board does not intend to interfere with or to restrict the professional
activities of a licensed physician who is not Board Certified, nor to restrict
the professional activities of a Certified Diplomate.
