Critical Care for the Hospitalist Series

Many hospitalists provide critical care services without adequate support or training, putting patients at risk and exposing hospitalists to medical liability. This educational series covers common or high-risk clinical scenarios that hospitalists encounter in and out of the intensive care unit.

Unstable Tachyarrhythmias for the Hospitalist

Signals blur when tachyarrhythmias destabilize a patient—make them readable. In this focused course for hospitalists, you’ll differentiate aberrancy from true ventricular rhythms, understand how accessory pathways shape conduction, and describe mechanisms with precise, shared terms. We standardize language across patterns so teams synthesize findings faster and improve decision-making at the bedside.

Multiple Credits

$0.00 - $95.00

Rapid Clinical Updates

Rapid Clinical Updates is designed to reach Society of Hospital Medicine members and other hospitalist clinicians with the latest information on clinical updates and treatment when and where they need it most, with actionable education that will help clinicians improve case delivery and the outcomes of hospitalized patients during hospital stay and after discharge.

Rapid Clinical Updates: Challenging Inpatient Scenarios in Atrial Fibrillation

As bedside alarms spike, do you have a ten‑minute plan for AF? In this rapid, case‑driven webinar you will recognize triggers, triage safely, and decide when to cardiovert vs rate control, then manage anticoagulation—balancing DOACs, PCI antithrombotics, and cardioversion timing. You’ll design high‑value discharges, reassess risk after sepsis or bleeding, and optimize outcomes for frailty and falls—and, when OAC isn’t feasible, evaluate LAAO—so you leave with faster, defensible choices.

Managing Pain in Postoperative Patients: What the Hospitalist Needs to Know

Sharper recoveries start at the bedside. In this case-rich activity, assess pain precisely across ages and cognition, identify mechanisms, and implement multimodal plans: acetaminophen/NSAIDs, regional techniques, and targeted adjuvants to limit opioids. Titrate and rotate using equianalgesic principles, avoid meperidine and long-acting agents, set PCA lockouts without basal in opioid-naive, and monitor outcomes to curb delirium and elevate satisfaction.
