Rapid Clinical Updates: How We Approach Oncologic Emergencies: A Framework for the Hospitalist

Bedside decisions can’t wait. In this case-based, hospitalist-focused course, develop a rapid, structured approach to oncologic emergencies—stabilization first, then disease context—using location, pace, and patient factors to set urgency. Describe stepwise care for hypercalcemia, recognize immune-related toxicities, identify visceral crisis, and construct plans for malignant spinal cord compression to improve outcomes.

Learning Objectives
After completing this activity, learners should be able to:

Develop a structured framework for evaluating the hospitalized patient with cancer, incorporating patient-specific and disease-specific factors.
Describe the pathophysiology, workup, and treatment of hypercalcemia of malignancy.
Recognize the spectrum of immune-mediated adverse events associated with immunotherapy.
Identify clinical features of visceral crisis and apply urgent management strategies to these patients.
Construct a patient-centered treatment plan for those presenting with malignant spinal cord compression.

Sweet Relief: Acute Pain Management for the Hospitalist

Rounds move fast; pain relief should keep pace. Through realistic, on‑demand cases, hospitalists will learn to design multimodal analgesia, use opioids safely, and set expectations from admission to discharge. You’ll manage chronic therapy, sickle cell crises, and cancer pain with precise titration, apply a strong non‑opioid toolbox, then plan safer home regimens with brief tapers, harm reduction, naloxone, and MOUD—sharpening prescribing and outcomes across the ward.

Encyclopedia for Cancer Pain Management

Clinicians meeting a patient curled by tumor pain need speed and precision. In this on‑demand, case‑driven training, you identify opioid‑naïve vs tolerant, profile nociceptive vs neuropathic patterns, and perform targeted exams that drive therapy; then choose agents, routes, and doses using clear frameworks and bedside algorithms. Apply a five‑step PCA method, preempt side effects, execute confident conversions including fentanyl/methadone, and deliver reproducible relief on your next shift.

ONC 911: An Evidence-based Clinical Update on Oncologic Emergencies for Hospitalists

When minutes matter, hospitalists need a playbook that works. Through interactive, on‑demand, case‑based updates on cord compression, tumor lysis syndrome, and neutropenic fever, you will guide multidisciplinary decisions with NOMS, implement evidence‑based steroid strategies, evaluate MASCC risk, and optimize rasburicase use while you monitor high‑value labs and telemetry. Finish prepared to apply decisive care that improves safety and shortens stays.
