Climate and Health for the Hospitalist

Climate health is an emerging and rapidly evolving field of medicine with which hospitalists need to be familiar. Clinicians are often unaware of the impacts of environmental factors on patients’ health and do not feel comfortable counseling on the subject or educating students, residents, and colleagues.They should recognize the ecological determinants of health as impacting patient care directly and indirectly and have the tools to affect healthcare sustainability practice and understand the applicability of sustainable quality improvement tools.

SHM's Climate and Health for the Hospitalist series will provide you with foundational information on the topic to counsel patients, recognize the ecological determinants of health, and educate others.

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.

Unstable Tachyarrhythmias for the Hospitalist

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.

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.
