Transplant Pearls for the Hospitalist

On-call for a kidney transplant admission? Delve into early AKI patterns after transplant, examine non–drug-related pitfalls like seroma, UTI, and ureteral stricture, and identify evolving cardio‑metabolic risk. Apply sepsis treatment principles while calibrating immunosuppression. Manage the failing allograft and navigate retransplant, dialysis, and palliative paths—sharpening inpatient decisions and outcomes.

Identify the trajectory of cardiovascular and diabetic risk after kidney transplantation.
Achieve a thorough understanding of sepsis, treatment methodologies, immunosuppression protocols, and long-term outcomes in individuals on long-term immunosuppression.
Manage the failing allograft and navigate considerations for retransplant, dialysis and palliative care.

Rapid Clinical Updates: Inpatient Management of Cirrhosis

Bedside-ready playbooks turn cirrhosis admits into clear next steps for hospitalists. In fast, case-based sessions, you’ll diagnose ascites and infection, start evidence-based therapy, and monitor response; apply decisive algorithms for encephalopathy, kidney injury, bleeding, and clot risk; and initiate discharge plans that link transplant, palliation, and MAUD—accelerating care that reduces complications and readmissions.

Syncope: Things We Do For No Reason & Things We Do For Reason

Why do we over-test syncope? In this on-demand course, clinicians integrate EKGs with orthostatic vitals, recognize when PE workup with D-dimer or imaging adds value, and utilize neurologic testing judiciously while distinguishing seizure from syncope and identifying stroke red flags. You'll evaluate indications for 2D echo and formulate when a head-up tilt table truly helps - sharpening evidence-based, high-value care.

Things We Do For No Reason

Rethink rituals in medicine that persist without payoff. In this on-demand, case-based course, review why entrenched practices endure, then critique and refine them. Appreciate the stroke-prevention value of anticoagulation even with fall risk, and apply oxygen-delivery physiology to RBC transfusions in chronic anemia. Reflect on and assess common heart failure treatments to decide what to stop, what to keep, and how to deliver higher-value care.
