2nd Annual Conference on Acute & Urgent Care: A Practical & Collaborative Approach

2nd Annual Conference on Acute & Urgent Care: A Practical & Collaborative Approach is organized by Symposia Medicus and will be held from May 07 - 09, 2026 at New York Hilton Midtown, New York City, New York, United States of America.

Description:
Join us for our dynamic and interdisciplinary conference that will explore the intersection of urgent care, emergency medicine, family medicine, and internal medicine and bring together healthcare professionals from diverse specialties to share insights, innovations, and best practices in managing urgent and acute health conditions.

Our 2^nd Annual Conference on Urgent & Acute Care: A Practical & Collaborative Approach is designed for urgent care providers, emergency physicians, family practice and internal medicine physicians, nurses, nurse practitioners, physician associates and out-of-hospital providers. Sharing their extensive scope of knowledge and expertise, our faculty will provide you with skills and strategies for the evaluation and treatment of acute medical conditions. This educational activity aims to increase learner knowledge, improve the competence and performance of all attendees, and contribute to their ability to work together as part of a coordinated healthcare team.

Topics for this year’s conference have been selected based on the educational needs underlying identified professional practice gaps. The gaps were derived from a variety of sources including evaluations and outcomes data from past participants, clinical expert input, Symposia Medicus’ online survey, and other medical and nursing data such as current clinical guidelines, research findings, literature reviews, and patient safety considerations.

An outstanding faculty has been assembled for this conference. Each faculty member was selected based on their individual area of expertise and ability to communicate current, evidence-based, and practical information to participants.

The conference format includes didactic lectures, question and answer sessions, and case studies. Following a group of lectures, the question and answer sessions allow attendees to ask the faculty critical and challenging questions about caring for patients during various urgent and acute situations.
