Retail clinics in the United States

A retail clinic is a category of walk-in clinic located in retail stores, supermarkets and pharmacies that treat uncomplicated minor illnesses and provide preventative health care services. They are sometimes called "retail-based clinics", "convenient care clinics", or "nurse-in-a-box". Retail clinics in the United States are usually staffed by physician assistants (PAs) or nurse practitioners (NPs) and do not necessarily have a physician physically available onsite. Some, however, are staffed by physicians.
