SHINE: Practical Skills for Hospital Medicine

Clinical knowledge is only part of the job. Hospitalists also navigate consults and transfers, work across teams, handle challenging patient situations, and make sense of the systems that shape care.

SHINE offers self-paced courses focused on these practical parts of hospital medicine. Explore the topics that matter to your practice, whether you're beginning independent practice, joining a new hospital or role, or looking for fresh approaches to familiar challenges.

Who is SHINE for?

SHINE is for hospitalists who want to feel more confident and effective in the everyday work of hospital medicine. That includes clinicians beginning independent practice, settling into a new hospital or role, and looking to strengthen skills they've used for years.

Want to talk it through with other hospitalists?

The SHINE Live Cohort brings hospitalists together for interactive sessions with experienced coaches and peers. Ask questions, compare approaches, and discuss the situations you encounter in your own practice. You can participate in On-Demand and the Live Cohort independently.

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.
