What to expect from the "Updates in Hospital Medicine" series:
The SHM Kentucky Chapter and Division of Hospital Medicine, University of Kentucky Healthcare, is bringing monthly updates in Hospital Medicine. The Appalachian region has large areas of underserved populations with poor health indicators. We hope to provide monthly cutting-edge educational opportunities through the lens of Hospital Medicine practice. We have tailored our topics to serve the most needed and impactful health conditions. We believe that educating hospitalists about these and other high-yield, highly prevalent, and potentially deadly disease states will have a meaningful and long-lasting impact on the patients of the Heartland region. Further, we believe this content will be beneficial to traditional internists, family medicine trained physicians, and advanced practice providers managing ICU patients.
