16th Annual Midwest Hospital Medicine Precourse & Conference

Wednesday, October 21, 2020, 8:00 AM - Saturday, October 24, 2020, 12:00 PM, Online


This educational initiative was developed to provide a forum for discussing and presenting laboratory and clinical research concerning the care of patients by hospitalists. The meeting is designed to facilitate a discussion of latest multidisciplinary techniques for hospitalists. Seventy-five percent of hospitalists now care for patients in the Intensive Care Unit, indicating a pressing need for competency-based education targeted at the management of critically ill patients. The goal of the pre-course is to provide clinically relevant evidenced-based updates on essential components of critical care including sepsis, acute respiratory distress syndrome, liberation from mechanical ventilation, and cardiogenic shock.

1. Explain current challenges and opportunities for hospital-based healthcare professionals.
2. Identify delirium and strategies to prevent it.
3. Describe approaches to clinical reasoning and diagnosis.
4. Describe approaches to finding fulfillment and joy in the practice of medicine.
5. Explain current evidence based therapies for acute decompensated heart failure .
6. Define contrast induced nephropathy and explain evidence regarding its prevention .
7. Summarize the most relevant and potentially practice-changing clinical research related to hospital medicine from the past year.
