Antibiotic and Steroid Prescribing Variation Is a Global Problem—and a Daily Challenge for Urgent Care Clinicians

In urgent care, antibiotic and steroid prescribing decisions happen under pressure—short visits, high patient expectations, and limited follow-up. Clinicians face constant pressure to treat efficiently—yet the overuse and misuse of antibiotics and corticosteroids remain one of the greatest threats to modern medicine, patient outcomes, and operational performance.

The result:

• Antibiotics prescribed far more often than clinically indicated
• Steroids used for conditions where evidence shows little benefit
• Wide variation across providers and sites

This isn’t a knowledge gap—it’s a lack of tools, confidence, and evidence-based strategies that support your clinicians’ prescribing decisions. And at the organizational level, that creates:

• Inconsistent care
• Increased clinical and legal risk
• Missed quality and performance benchmarks

Antibiotic Stewardship in Urgent Care Practice and Corticosteroid Stewardship in Urgent Care Practice give your clinicians the tools, confidence, and strategies to make judicious, evidence-based prescribing decisions—protecting your patients, your community, and the future of effective infection treatment.

A Practical, Evidence-Based Approach to Antibiotic and Steroid Stewardship in Urgent Care

The Antibiotic and Corticosteroid Stewardship Courses were built specifically for urgent care clinicians who need to make fast, precise antibiotic and steroid prescribing decisions in real-world conditions.

This level of learning goes beyond theory—focusing on how to apply antibiotic and steroid stewardship principles in a high-volume, high-pressure urgent care setting.
