High Yield Tips for Congenital Conditions that Adult Hospitalists Should Know

Alarms on a baclofen pump, a CF flare, a T1D insulin pump request, a sickle cell headache—this case-based course shows you how to assess risk, manage acute issues, and explain care differences that matter on the wards. You’ll describe tone strategies and neurogenic bowel/bladder care, list discharge equipment needs, apply evidence to CF and sickle cell, and evaluate Type 1 vs Type 2 inpatient plans to improve outcomes.
