The training you need. The confidence you want. The outcomes your patients deserve.
Urgent care is fast-paced, high-risk, and full of clinical gray areas. Most clinicians enter urgent care without structured training for the real-world scenarios they'll face every day—and all of them need a way to stay current with evolving best practices throughout their career.
Upskill Academy was built to close that gap. This self-paced learning program combines clinical precision, procedural skill-building, and documentation guidance so you can treat with confidence, reduce risk, and deliver better patient outcomes—starting today.
Most urgent care clinicians are handed a clipboard and a shift schedule—and expected to figure things out on their own. That's not fair to you or your patients. Upskill Academy is our answer: a purpose-built, evidence-based program designed to give you the tools, guidance, and support you deserve throughout your career.
Full access to all Upskill Academy courses—over $2,500 in value, yours in one all-access package.

ESSENTIAL STUDIES
Since when did practicing medicine become a tug-of-war between doing what’s right based on evidence and caving to patient demands? While it should be enough to explain that systemic steroids (oral and injectable) are often ineffective for many conditions and carry significant risks, patients are increasingly convinced that steroids offer a quick fix.
This educational webinar is ideal for clinicians who want to make informed, evidence-based decisions about steroid use, improve patient safety, and optimize clinical outcomes.
PEDIATRIC PREP
This course is designed to help urgent care clinicians approach pediatric complaints with clarity, caution, and clinical confidence. From febrile infants to wheezing toddlers and abdominal pain in teens, pediatric care requires a different lens—one that catches subtle signs, avoids missed diagnoses, and guides safe decision-making.
The Pediatric Urgent Care Playbook offers condition-specific guidance, age-adjusted red flags, and practical strategies for assessing risk and knowing when to escalate. Whether you see kids every shift or only occasionally, this course helps you prepare for the ones that matter most.
"I now have a better ability to determine accurate transfer toa higher level of care based upon symptoms and observations."
