Could an FM doc open his/her own urgent care center? I have only heard of EM docs and PA's doing this.
Thanks
Thanks
many urgent care ctrs are owned an managed by fp docs. it is a natural use of the fp training as most pts really have primary care type complaints. fp docs who work in urgent care can make more than stand alone primary care type work.NYSLicense said:Could an FM doc open his/her own urgent care center?

docrjay said:Hey Kent! I wrote the fellowship director and they are trying to work out other specialties including occupational medicine into the program. He said they will make announcement in the future. Hope they would accept Occupational medicine graduates in the future too!
