What is a Residency Clinic?

A residency clinic is a healthcare facility staffed by medical residents under the supervision of attending physicians. These clinics offer a variety of services, including primary care, urgent care, and specialty care. Residency clinics provide an opportunity for medical residents to gain practical experience and improve their clinical skills while offering patients access to affordable and convenient care.

When to Visit a Walk-In Clinic vs. Emergency Room

Knowing when to seek care at a walk-in clinic versus an emergency room can be crucial in ensuring timely and appropriate medical attention. Here's a general guideline:

Walk-In Clinic

• Minor illnesses and injuries: Colds, flu, sore throat, ear infections, sinus infections, sprains, strains, minor cuts and burns, allergies, and mild respiratory issues.
• Preventive care: Flu shots and other routine check-ups.
• Non-urgent illnesses: Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and mild headaches.

Emergency Room

• Life-threatening conditions: Chest pain, difficulty breathing, severe bleeding, stroke symptoms, or sudden loss of consciousness.
• Major injuries: Broken bones, severe burns, head injuries, or deep lacerations.
• Severe pain: Unbearable abdominal pain, severe headaches, or severe back pain.
• Poisoning or overdose: Ingestion of harmful substances.
• Suspected infections: Meningitis, pneumonia, or sepsis.

Remember, if you are unsure whether your condition requires emergency care, it's always better to err on the side of caution and seek immediate medical attention. Emergency rooms are equipped to handle critical situations and can provide life-saving treatment.
