SHM's Clinical Quick Talks

In light of the busy clinical services and demands on hospitalists’ schedules, it is often difficult to carve out time to prepare short lectures for residents and students. To meet this need, SHM's Education Committee created a library of quick talks designed to be succinct (given in less than 10 minutes) for use during teaching rounds, a brief sit-down session, or topic review. Access to this library is free for active SHM members, and nonmembers can subscribe (3 years for $199).
