Rapid Clinical Updates: Updates in Acute Stroke Management

Sudden gaze deviation, a slurred word—what’s your next move? In this October 2024 update, synthesize case-based, guideline-concordant steps to streamline thrombolysis, treat wake-up and unknown-onset strokes with imaging-driven criteria, and coordinate timely thrombectomy. Manage mechanism-specific workups and optimize secondary prevention, then apply pearls to mild-but-disabling deficits—so you elevate outcomes on your very next shift.

SHM Consults: Perioperative and Consultative Medicine

As hospitalist roles surge, mastering consultative and perioperative care has become a career essential. Gain the proven frameworks and clinical confidence to navigate complex surgical co-management and specialist consultations, leading to safer patients and smoother workflows.

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.

Rapid Clinical Updates: Challenging Inpatient Scenarios in Atrial Fibrillation

As bedside alarms spike, do you have a ten‑minute plan for AF? In this rapid, case‑driven webinar you will recognize triggers, triage safely, and decide when to cardiovert vs rate control, then manage anticoagulation—balancing DOACs, PCI antithrombotics, and cardioversion timing. You’ll design high‑value discharges, reassess risk after sepsis or bleeding, and optimize outcomes for frailty and falls—and, when OAC isn’t feasible, evaluate LAAO—so you leave with faster, defensible choices.

Rapid Clinical Updates

Rapid Clinical Updates is designed to reach Society of Hospital Medicine members and other hospitalist clinicians with the latest information on clinical updates and treatment when and where they need it most, with actionable education that will help clinicians improve case delivery and the outcomes of hospitalized patients during hospital stay and after discharge.

Neurosurgery for the Hospitalist

When seconds count, hospitalists synthesize neurosurgical know-how to act decisively. In this interactive, CME-accredited module, you will summarize SAH, brain herniation, and cord compression; manage perfusion targets with nimodipine to curb delayed ischemia; differentiate SIADH from cerebral salt wasting while managing DI; describe shunt function and malfunctions; recommend anticoagulant reversal and VTE prophylaxis; and select hypertonic saline, mannitol, or dexamethasone to improve outcomes.

Critical Care of Patients with Liver Disease

When MELD-Na tops 30, will you spot danger and act fast? This case-driven video equips hospital clinicians to recognize decompensation, stage hepatitis vs cirrhosis, and triage transfers with crisp, bedside algorithms. You’ll treat encephalopathy without oversedation, run the variceal bundle, prevent AKI/HRS, and outpace sepsis. Special modules decode alcoholic hepatitis and fulminant failure—so your next shift delivers safer care and better survival.

Multiple Credits

$0.00 - $95.00

Perioperative Infections and Fever

Fever after surgery isn’t a mystery—it’s a clock. In this case-driven course, apply a time-based lens and the W’s mnemonic to recognize, diagnose, and treat postoperative etiologies while strengthening HAP/VAP, CAUTI, and central-line infection management. Culture before antibiotics, assess resistance risk, de‑escalate thoughtfully, prevent catheter harm, manage Candida with confidence, activate sepsis bundles, and return patients to recovery faster.
