Overview

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, the course – now in its 29th year – highlights recent advances and current controversies. To promote active learning, the course uses an audience response system and features multiple workshops in a variety of disciplines to allow for small group discussions. The course will be offered in person only this year. It includes broad content in critical care, perioperative care, radiology, neurology, cardiology, GI, diabetes, rheumatology, nephrology, and infectious diseases. In addition, there are sessions on substance use, delirium, AI, and diagnostic reasoning.
