March 2022: National Physicians Week
The inaugural awardee of the College of Urgent Care Cause for Applause is not an individual. We want to recognize ALL physicians.
In honor of National Physicians Week (March 25-31, 2022) we applaud all of the Urgent Care physicians who have worked so hard over the last two years.
You have been through multiple surges, staffing highs and lows, angry patients, acutely ill patients and, for many, even COVID-19 itself. You have risen to the challenge and survived. You served your colleagues, communities, and the industry admirably. For this, the College of Urgent Care Medicine applauds you as our inaugural recognition recipients in “Cause for Applause”!
