SHM Consults Core Curriculum

Hospitalists are the fastest growing portion of the physician work force. Some estimate there will be 50,000 hospitalists needed in the next 10 years. As the number of hospitalists grows, so too will the clinical settings in which we practice. Consultative medicine is a service provided by many hospitalists, and a future in which almost all surgical patients are co-managed by hospitalists is already a reality for some. For many of us, our training in consultative medicine during residency was limited. We hope this curriculum will help you to feel more confident about your knowledge and skills and will lead to better patient outcomes. We welcome your comments and suggestions for future topics.

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.

Rapid Clinical Updates: Updates in Acute Stroke Management

Sudden gaze deviation, a slurred word—what’s your next move? In this October 2024 update, synthesize case-based, guideline-concordant steps to streamline thrombolysis, treat wake-up and unknown-onset strokes with imaging-driven criteria, and coordinate timely thrombectomy. Manage mechanism-specific workups and optimize secondary prevention, then apply pearls to mild-but-disabling deficits—so you elevate outcomes on your very next shift.

Neurosurgery for the Hospitalist

When seconds count, hospitalists synthesize neurosurgical know-how to act decisively. In this interactive, CME-accredited module, you will summarize SAH, brain herniation, and cord compression; manage perfusion targets with nimodipine to curb delayed ischemia; differentiate SIADH from cerebral salt wasting while managing DI; describe shunt function and malfunctions; recommend anticoagulant reversal and VTE prophylaxis; and select hypertonic saline, mannitol, or dexamethasone to improve outcomes.
