In addition to the hospitalist CME sessions, don’t miss the following Pre-courses designed specifically for hospitalists.
Hospital Medicine: From Admission to Discharge
Wednesday, April 18, 2012
8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
Course Director: Jamie Newman, MD, FACP
Assistant Professor, Department of Hospital Internal Medicine, Mayo Clinic Rochester, Rochester, MN
The approach of this pre-course will be to address issues in clinical inpatient care, with a hospitalist perspective on management and process improvement. The individual lectures will be framed by the hospitalization of one patient, who will be followed from admission to discharge. The faculty, which compromises experienced hospitalists from around the United States, will discuss ideal medical management and explore how to minimize the risk for many nonsocomial infections.
Bedside, Hand-Carried Ultrasound–Guided Thoracentesis and Paracentesis
PRE 1201 Wednesday, 8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m.
Roger W. Bush, MD, FACP
Associate Director, Internal Medicine Residency, Virginia Mason Medical
Center, Seattle, WA
The use of bedside, portable diagnostic ultrasonography devices by nonradiologists is increasing because of both maturing and more affordable technology and evidence of improved patient safety and process efficiency.
This pre-course will introduce the hand-carried ultrasound (HCU) unit to internists and provide hands-on practice in its use for procedural guidance (paracentesis and thoracentesis). Participants will learn to use HCU to improve safety, value, and comfort for patients while minimizing motion, handoffs, and wait times. After hands-on practice in each aspect of the procedures, teams will run through the procedures, discussing and assessing performance. This is primarily a procedural pre-course, in which hand-carried ultrasound is used to guide needle placement. Instruction will be tailored to individual learner goals as much as possible. Please note this is not an “ultrasound immersion” pre-course.
Learning Objectives:
1. Become familiar with the use of bedside, hand-carried ultrasound units in procedural guidance.
2. Become familiar with sterile technique, draping, and antiseptic methods.
3. Become familiar with thoracentesis and paracentesis, their application in diagnosis and alliation, supply lists,risks, benefits, and coding implications.
4. Become familiar with universal protocol (preprocedural pause).
5. Acquire hands-on experience using hand-carried ultrasound units, standardized patients, and simulators.
Critical Care Medicine 2012
PRE 1208 Tuesday and Wednesday, 8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m.
Robert A. Balk, MD, FACP
Professor of Medicine, Rush Medical College; Director of Pulmonary and
Critical Care Medicine, Rush University Medical Center, Chicago, IL
This pre-course will provide the opportunity to understand the principles of diagnosis and management of common clinical problems and conditions encountered in the intensive care unit. Particular attention will be placed on the recognition of disease process, acute management of critical illness, and prevention of complications of critical illness in the critically ill adult patient.
Topics include acute coronary syndromes and myocardial infarction, acute stroke management, acute lung injury and ARDS, pulmonary embolism, drug overdose, septic shock, and severe pneumonia. Also discussed will be the management of patients with a wide variety of infectious diseases, approaches to mental status evaluation, fever in the intensive care unit, therapeutic hypothermia, mechanical ventilatory support of the critically ill patient, and methods for preventing common complications in the critically ill patient.
Learning Objectives:
- Update the internist on common disorders and diseases encountered in the intensive care unit.
- Review the diagnostic techniques used in the management of the critically ill adult.
- Discuss recommendations for the management of common critical illnesses encountered in the intensive care unit and prevention of complications of critical illness.

These live, self-study sessions are designed to help internists complete the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) Self-Evaluation of Medical Knowledge modules through group discussion led by expert faculty. An audience-response system is used to enhance the learning experience and encourage participation. On each day, Tuesday and Wednesday, there will be two separate sessions (one in the morning and another in the afternoon).
These sessions will cover the 2010 and 2011 Update modules in Hospital-Based and Office-Based Internal Medicine. Each of the four Update modules contains 25 multiple-choice questions and qualifies for 10 Maintenance of Certification points in the Self-Evaluation of Medical Knowledge category. You must register separately for each session that you wish to attend. Each session is designated for 3.5 AMA PRA Category 1Credits™.
Learning Objectives:
- Participate in group discussion to determine answers to multiple choice questions.
- Complete the module(s) toward fulfillment of ABIM’s Maintenance of Certification requirements.
The American College of Physicians will provide you with a learner’s copy of the ABIM module(s) at the meeting. If you are enrolled in the ABIM’s Maintenance of Certification program, you also must order the module directly from ABIM by visiting www.abim.org/online. After the learning session, submit your answers online to ABIM for Maintenance of Certification credit. For more information about ABIM’S Maintenance of Certification program, visit www.abim.org/moc.
*If you are already enrolled in the ABIM Maintenance of Certification program, there is no additional fee for this official version of the module. If you are not enrolled, you may attend the learning session; however, you must enroll before receiving Maintenance of Certification credit for the knowledge module. To enroll, visit the ABIM Website.
