Membership Categories

SPUC is pleased to announce that the society has upgraded its membership categories to accomplish our goal of including and embracing all who are part of the Pediatric Urgent Care community. The former physician category is now called Provider and includes Advanced Practice Nurses and Physician Assistants. All members in this category have voting privileges.

The Clinical Administrator has been created to encompass registered nurses, especially, but not confined to those in leadership roles, medical educators, and healthcare business professionals who support pediatric urgent care. Members in this category have voting privileges.

SPUC has added a new International membership for licensed providers (MD, DO, NP, PA, RN) or clinical healthcare administrators with an interest in pediatric urgent care. International members are eligible to hold office and have voting rights.
