Heartland Hospital Medicine

September 14 - 16, 2023 | Hyatt Regency Lexington, Lexington, KY

The University of Kentucky Division of Hospital Medicine will be hosting the 6th annual Heartland Hospital Medicine Conference (HHMC) this fall. This is a regional conference of the Society of Hospital Medicine (SHM) and will feature presenters from around the region. Hospitalists are the largest subspecialty of Internal Medicine and are front-ling providers for care delivery of hospitalized patients with a broad array of diagnoses. The vast majority of hospitals in the United States rely on hospitalists for clinical care delivery, and hospitalists are increasingly responsible for advancing evidence-based medicine for patients who may lack sufficient access to primary care physicians and subspecialists. Staying updated with current medical literature is a continual challenge for hospitalists. To meet this need, the HHMC will deliver pertinent updates in clinical evidence as well as innovative practice patterns to help participants deliver the best, most high-value, most efficient care possible.
