Become the provider who changes someone’s idea of urgent care.

Mission Statement: "To train, educate and inspire novice providers to excel in Urgent Care Medicine with expressed effort to support the growth of WellNow."

The WellNow way of care is special – it demands compassion and excellence at every touch point. When you become a Fellow here, you'll learn from the best to provide the best to our patients and communities. You’ll learn how to go above and beyond what someone would expect from their urgent care experience, and show how everyday care can truly matter. And when you help our reputation grow in that way, you’ll grow too – this program is designed as the first open door of many as you transform your career within WellNow.

All it takes is the first step. Orientation classes are now starting monthly. Check out our open positions today.

Change someone’s day, every day.

Our intensive 9-month program follows a unique curriculum designed to immerse you in a learning experience that mirrors emergency medicine training and will prepare you to be an independent urgent care provider. The program is heavily didactic, with a combination of clinical and web-based training.

Each mentor had unique things to teach us and I felt like I learned something different from each one.
