Encyclopedia for Cancer Pain Management

Clinicians meeting a patient curled by tumor pain need speed and precision. In this on‑demand, case‑driven training, you identify opioid‑naïve vs tolerant, profile nociceptive vs neuropathic patterns, and perform targeted exams that drive therapy; then choose agents, routes, and doses using clear frameworks and bedside algorithms. Apply a five‑step PCA method, preempt side effects, execute confident conversions including fentanyl/methadone, and deliver reproducible relief on your next shift.

Rapid Clinical Updates: How We Approach Oncologic Emergencies: A Framework for the Hospitalist

Bedside decisions can’t wait. In this case-based, hospitalist-focused course, develop a rapid, structured approach to oncologic emergencies—stabilization first, then disease context—using location, pace, and patient factors to set urgency. Describe stepwise care for hypercalcemia, recognize immune-related toxicities, identify visceral crisis, and construct plans for malignant spinal cord compression to improve outcomes.

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.

Surf's Up! Riding the Wave of Palliative Medicine: The Latest in Caring for Patients with Serious Illness

Tidal shifts in palliative evidence are reshaping hospital medicine. In this on-demand update, hospitalists synthesize cutting-edge studies to demonstrate better symptom control, recognize high-value communication moves, and identify system levers that provide timely, compassionate care. Through case-based critique and practical tools, you apply pearls to improve outcomes for patients and families.

Acute Pain in Patients with Opioid Use Disorder: Leveling Up Analgesia While Dialing Down Risk

Bedside decisions shouldn’t trade relief for risk. In this on-demand course, clinicians describe the roles of buprenorphine and methadone, recognize openings to start MOUD during acute and acute-on-chronic pain in hospitalized patients with serious illness, and implement team-based plans with outpatient partners. We then apply palliative care communication to discuss comorbid pain and OUD, advancing safer analgesia and more dignified hospital care.

Perioperative Care of the Patient with Cancer

Cancer surgery rarely pauses for calibrating risk. Confidently design perioperative plans that account for cancer therapies as you describe cardiac hazards from anthracyclines, fluoropyrimidines, and prior radiation, including post-stent antiplatelet decisions, identify bleomycin lung injury and TKI effusions, review transfusion and antithrombotic strategies, anticipate immune-related events, and manage VTE, infection, and healing—then apply crisp checklists at the bedside.

DEA Requirement - OUD and SUD Education

The US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) recently announced updated rules for all registered clinicians. Starting June 27, 2023, clinicians applying or renewing their DEA registration will need to make a one-time attestation that they have attended at least eight hours of approved training. This will be due at the time of renewal, which will vary by clinician. As an accredited CME provider, the Society of Hospital Medicine has compiled a list of sessions that meet this requirement. By registering for thia free-to-member curriculum below, you will gain access to all sessions, including sessions otherwise only available through paid On Demand products.

Rapid Clinical Updates: Updates in Opiate Use Disorder: Advances in Therapies Across All Ages

Fentanyl-era care moves fast—so will you. In this rapid, case-based update spanning adolescents to older adults, apply evidence to start MOUD confidently, stabilize with high‑dose buprenorphine or methadone, and sustain recovery with extended‑release options. Design micro‑inductions, critique naltrexone timing, and integrate harm‑reduction to reduce mortality and stigma, then ensure safe handoffs that improve outcomes beyond discharge.

Management of Acute Perioperative Pain With Opioid Use Disorder

Fentanyl-era surgery demands sharper perioperative pain plans—do yours align with MOUD best practice? In this on-demand session, continue or initiate buprenorphine, including microinduction, then apply multimodal and regional analgesia (ketamine, lidocaine, nerve blocks) to reduce tolerance and hyperalgesia. Evaluate algorithms for methadone and naltrexone, treat withdrawal quickly, and enhance team workflows that carry inpatient starts into durable outpatient care.
