How to Recognize and Treat STEMIs in Urgent Care Centers
STEMI stands for ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction. This is commonly defined as an acute occlusion of a coronary blood vessel secondary to a plaque rupture or thrombosis. A STEMI is typically diagnosed when there is 1-2mm of elevation of the ST segment in two contiguous leads on an electrocardiogram (ECG). Also, elevated troponin levels will almost always be present. When a patient experiences a STEMI, they are experiencing a true, life-threatening medical emergency that requires immediate transfer from an urgent care center, via emergency medical services (EMS), to a hospital that is equipped to care for these patients. Accurate and efficient recognition of signs and symptoms of an acute myocardial infarction and ECG interpretation are critical components of recognizing STEMIs in an urgent care setting.

Sexually Transmitted Infections and Diseases in Urgent Care Centers
Rates of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), also referred to as sexually transmitted infections (STIs), in the United States are at an all-time high. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), over 20 million new STD cases are reported in the United States every year. Left untreated, STDs can be transmitted to others and may lead to adverse health outcomes.
More and more patients are turning to urgent care centers for treatment of potential STDs. Urgent care workers play a vital role not only in diagnosing and treating STDs, but also in educating patients on STD prevention.
In this course, you will learn to identify and treat the most commonly encountered sexually transmitted infections in the urgent care setting. Course expiration date: 3/6/2026
