Hippo Education Urgent Care Peds Bootcamp is a specialized, comprehensive continuing medical education course created to empower clinicians with the clinical expertise, diagnostic acumen, and procedural confidence required to manage pediatric patients in urgent care and acute ambulatory settings. Children presenting with acute illness or injury present unique anatomic, physiologic, and developmental challenges compared to adults. This curriculum bridges critical gaps in pediatric acute care by translating clinical guidelines into clear, bite-sized video modules. Covering essential topics such as high-risk fever evaluations, acute respiratory distress, common pediatric rashes, orthopedic injuries, toxicologic emergencies, and pediatric laceration repairs, the program prepares providers to spot subtle red flags, avoid cognitive bias, prevent misdiagnoses, and make safe disposition decisions.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this educational activity, participants should be able to:

• Apply an evidence-based approach to the clinical evaluation, risk stratification, and initial management of acute illnesses and injuries commonly encountered in pediatric patients.

• Systematically evaluate pediatric fevers across specific age groups (neonates, young infants, and older children) while recognizing red flags for invasive bacterial infections and sepsis.

• Rapidly diagnose and deliver urgent interventions for acute pediatric respiratory distress, including croup, bronchiolitis, asthma exacerbations, and foreign body aspirations.

• Identify high-risk pediatric orthopedic injuries, distinguish normal growth plate anatomy from subtle Salter-Harris fractures, and perform proper splinting techniques.

• Perform common office-based and urgent care pediatric procedures safely, including digital anesthesia, laceration repairs, nursemaid’s elbow reduction, and foreign body removals from the ear, nose, and skin.

• Formulate clear patient disposition decisions, safe discharge plans, and actionable return-precautions tailored for pediatric patients and their caregivers.

Target Audience

This activity is designed for urgent care clinicians, emergency medicine physicians, family medicine physicians, pediatricians, physician assistants (PAs), nurse practitioners (NPs), and resident trainees who provide acute medical care to pediatric patients in urgent care, walk-in clinics, or emergency room settings. Best for Pediatricians, Urgent Care Physicians, Family Medicine Physicians, Emergency Physicians, Pediatric Emergency Medicine Physicians, Pediatric Orthopedic Specialists, Pediatric Dermatologists, and Pediatric Otolaryngologists.
