Is Urgent Care Board Certification recognized by the American Medical Association (AMA)?
In 2003 the American Academy of Urgent Care Medicine (AAUCM) was admitted into the Specialty and Service Society (SSS) of the American Medical Association (AMA). The Specialty and Service Society (SSS) is the largest caucus in the American Medical Association (AMA) House of Delegates (HOD). For more information about the Specialty and Service Society of the AMA, please click here. In addition, in cooperation with the AMA, the AAUCM was successful in having Urgent Care Medicine, (UCM) established as a Self-Designated/Practice Specialty (SDPS) code. To change your SDPS to UCM, please download a Change Form from the Document Center.
