Course Description:A pregnant patient may present to Urgent Care for reasons related to pregnancy, and the prospect of caring for two patients at once can be anxiety-provoking, even to the seasoned clinician! As well, pregnant patients may be seen for non-pregnancy-related illness, trauma or other needs. Dr. Oscar Almeida, who spent a career as an Ob/Gyn prior to becoming an urgent care physician during Hurricane Katrina, will provide useful tools in this session for the evaluation and management of obstetric patients who present to the Urgent Care Center.
