I did my urgent care rotation at Centers Urgent Care and I thought it was a really good experience. The urgent care is run by PAs and NPs, who are very welcoming and willing to teach. I had the opportunity to see many patients during the past 5 weeks. I would see the patient by myself, then report to the PA and tell them my differential and treatment plan. I also got to do many procedures, including placing IV, venipunctures, vaccines, laceration repair, and paronychia drainage. This is a very different setting compared to my previous hospital rotations. In urgent care, PAs have higher autonomy, and they also have help from MAs. Besides treating patients who come through to the clinic, it is also important to know when to refer patients to the emergency room. Overall I really enjoyed this rotation. It was really nice to work with the staffs and the providers in this urgent care.
