2025 Perioperative Essentials for Today's Hospitalist

Over the past many years, hospitalists have been at the forefront of peri-operative medical care for surgical patients. In this role, they are required to provide both evidence-based and efficient care that translates not only to good clinical care but also helps their health system in improving patient outcomes.

This activity will be tailored towards inpatient comprehensive pre-operative assessment and will provide key concepts in risk mitigation and management of common post-operative medical complications. The activity will cover essential topics of cardiac, pulmonary, and endocrine diseases like diabetes and provide in-depth discussion on medication management with a focus on perioperative anticoagulation management. As a highlight, faculty will engage in an insightful case-based discussion during breakout sessions.

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).
