Leading health system turns to more robust, comprehensive CME
to support advanced clinician development
ATLANTA,
Feb. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — MedStar Health, one of the largest and most respected healthcare systems in the Mid-Atlantic region, has selected EB Medicine as its clinical education partner for its Post Graduate Fellowship Program, marking a strategic investment in advanced, evidence-based training for its urgent care clinicians.
The decision reflects MedStar Health’s commitment to elevating clinical confidence, procedural mastery, and consistency of care across its urgent care network. After evaluating existing educational resources, MedStar leaders identified the need for a more in-depth, comprehensive, and clinically practical CME solution—one that goes beyond surface-level education and supports real-world decision-making.
Through this partnership, MedStar Health clinicians in the fellowship program will receive full access to EB Medicine’s urgent care-focused education solution, including peer-reviewed content, procedure-based training, and continually updated clinical guidance designed specifically for high-acuity, fast-paced care environments.
“Developing highly skilled urgent care clinicians requires education that is not only evidence-based, but practical, current, and directly applicable at the bedside,” said MedStar Health’s Medical Director, Jasmeet Bhogal, MD, MBA, FCUCM. “We selected EB Medicine because their content delivers the depth, rigor, and clinical relevance our postgraduate fellows need to build confidence and provide consistently excellent care.”
As part of the program, MedStar Health clinicians will have access to:
- Evidence-Based Urgent Care, a monthly peer-reviewed medical journal now continually updated to reflect the latest evidence and best practices
- The Laceration Course, covering the anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, and mechanics of lacerations—from simple to complex repairs
- The Abscess Course, offering practical, evidence-based guidance for diagnosing and managing abscesses in acute care settings
- The Urgent Care EKG Course, designed to improve real-world EKG interpretation and reduce missed diagnoses
- The Pediatric Urgent Care Playbook, offering practical, evidence-based guidance for common pediatric presentations
“Urgent care fellowship programs demand a higher level of educational rigor,” said Stephanie Williford, CEO of EB Medicine. “MedStar Health recognized that surface-level CME wasn’t enough. Our partnership provides their clinicians with deep, continually updated, evidence-based education that strengthens clinical judgment, procedural skill, and patient safety—exactly what advanced urgent care clinical education programs require.”
The EB Medicine platform is now available to MedStar Health urgent care fellows, delivering structured, on-demand, CME-accredited education designed for real-world urgent care practice.
