Every medical specialty comes with its own challenges and stresses, but in hospital medicine, you’re taking care of sicker patients than your colleagues. Every day, you’re routinely working with familiar, acutely ill, and complex patients, desperate to feel better – and their hopes are riding on you and your ability as a healthcare professional.
In this conference from Mayo Clinic, “Hospital Medicine: Managing Complex Patients”, leading medical experts provide you with the tools to provide the best care possible for your acutely ill patients. Learn about geriatric assessments, radiology pearls, syncopes, oncology emergencies, adrenal disease, and more.
