UCSF Management of the Hospitalized Patient 2023

+ Include: 11 videos + 34 pdfs, size: 9.37 GB

+ Target Audience: hospitalists, internists, residents, and all clinicians seeking practical

+ Information:

This course, chaired by Dr. Robert Wachter, covers the clinical issues most relevant to hospitalists and other clinicians who care for inpatients. Taught by UCSF’s top teachers and selected guest faculty, the course – now in its 27th year – highlights recent advances and current controversies.

To promote active learning, the course uses a mobile audience response system and features multiple workshops in a variety of disciplines to allow for small group discussions. The course will be offered both in-person and virtually. The course includes broad content in critical care, perioperative care, radiology, hospital neurology, cardiology, GI, diabetes, hematology, oncology, nephrology, and infectious diseases.

This course is presented by the UCSF Division of Hospital Medicine and is sponsored by the Office of Continuing Medical Education, University of California, San Francisco School of Medicine. It also serves as the West Coast regional meeting of the Society of Hospital Medicine.

Educational Objectives:
An attendee completing the Management of the Hospitalized Patient course should be able to:

• Improve diagnosis of common inpatient clinical presentations;
• Perform an evidence-based work-up for common inpatient clinical presentations;
• Apply modern therapeutic approaches to common inpatient disorders;
• More effectively respond to patients questions in hospital medicine using the latest clinical literature.

Why This Course Stands Out

• Cutting-Edge Topics: Stroke, sepsis, diabetes, heart failure, AI in hospital care, hospital-at-home models, and more.

• Practical Skills: Multiple small-group workshops for hands-on learning in ultrasound, radiology, and diagnostic reasoning.

• Expert Faculty: UCSF and national leaders bringing frontline hospital medicine expertise.
