- The Education Committee have reviewed a wide range of feedback and made several updates to the Urgent Care Course (UCC). No changes were made between September and November to avoid disrupting UCPEX preparation. Since the exams, updates have been implemented based on the feedback received.
- You can view the current list of changes on the new TalentLMS course: Urgent Care Course Corrections. You will need to log in to TalentLMS first, then re-click the link. If you are having issues logging into TalentLMS, please email om@rnzcuc.org.nz
- The document on TalentLMS has two tables. Edits and changes to the urgent care course are in the green table. Additions or new topics added are in the yellow table.
- We strongly recommend bookmarking the Urgent Care Course Corrections page and checking it at least twice a year. This is especially important for those preparing for UCPEX, as the most up-to-date UCC content will be examinable.
