The Hippo Education Urgent Care Bootcamp 2026 is a comprehensive on-demand training program designed specifically for clinicians working in or preparing for urgent care practice. The course offers an intensive educational sprint that combines concise clinical lectures with practical instruction to equip providers for walk-in, low-to-moderate acuity settings. It features over 40 hours of content and more than 225 procedural videos, covering differential diagnosis, occupational medicine, splinting, laceration repair, and point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS).

Learning Objectives

• Evaluate and manage common urgent care clinical presentations, including cardiovascular, neurological, respiratory, pediatric, and gastrointestinal complaints.

• Competently perform a wide range of urgent care procedures such as suturing, laceration repair, nerve blocks, joint reduction, and incision and drainage.

• Interpret essential diagnostic imaging and tests, including X-rays, point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS), and ECGs.

• Manage common infections with a strong emphasis on appropriate antibiotic stewardship.

• Identify critical red flags to determine when safe emergency department (ED) referrals are necessary.

• Handle occupational medicine cases, including work-related injuries, infectious fluid exposures, and repetitive motion injuries.

Target Audience

This program is designed for nurse practitioners (NPs), physician assistants (PAs), and physicians entering or already working in walk-in, low-acuity urgent care settings. It is ideal for clinicians who need a quick skills primer or want to test the waters before committing to a full career shift into urgent care.
