17th Annual Management of the Hospitalized Patient 2013

This course, chaired by Dr. Robert Wachter, covers the clinical issues most relevant to hospitalists and other clinicians who care for inpatients. Taught by UCSF’s top teachers and a stellar group of guest faculty, the course highlights recent advances and current controversies. To promote active learning, the course uses a computerized audience response system and features multiple workshops in a variety of disciplines to allow for small group discussions.

The course includes broad content in critical care, perioperative care, patient safety, and hospital neurology, cardiology, GI, nephrology, and infectious diseases. Back by popular demand, this year’s conference is preceded by the three-day Hospitalist Mini-College (October 28-30, 2013).

This course is presented by the UCSF Division of Hospital Medicine and is sponsored by the Office of Continuing Medical Education, University of California, San Francisco School of Medicine. It also serves as the West Coast regional meeting of the Society of Hospital Medicine.
