Ideas to Impact, Part 1: Writing Winning Abstracts

Pitch‑worthy abstracts begin long before submission day. In this course, you’ll craft rigorous research, innovation, and vignette abstracts; design clear figures and titles; and tailor structure and length to specific calls. You’ll model winning exemplars, leverage AI as an editor and pathways like SHM’s Shark Tank, and apply the Four C’s to revise fast—so your work stands alone, persuades reviewers, and converts ideas into acceptances.

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.

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.

Diagnosis and Management of Acute Mental Status Changes: Delirium

Sudden confusion can be lethal—and often missed. In this activity, you’ll diagnose with CAM and a RASS‑first ICU workflow, recognize delirium vs dementia, and treat reversible causes with a lean workup, then prevent it using practical, nonpharmacologic bundles. Manage agitation safely—avoid routine antipsychotics; use low‑dose haloperidol with QT checks—and address alcohol‑withdrawal delirium using AUDIT‑C/CIWA‑Ar to improve outcomes.
