title: A consumer revolution in retail medicine: where is it heading?
abstract: Convenient medical clinics (CMCs) have established themselves as a viable site for healthcare services. CMCs continue to gain support because the American consumer is driving this retail medicine bus and investment dollars are plentiful. Whether CMCs will last appears to depend on whether they continue to offer convenient services that meet the needs of those driving the bus.
