18th Annual Northwest Regional Hospital Medicine Conference

Conference description

Hospital Medicine is a broad, and ever-changing field. Staying current on topics old and new is a must for us and part of the joy of practicing hospital medicine. This has never been more true than now. In addition to the bread and butter medicine, we face new system and societal impacts that have changed the day to day experience of hospitalists. This year’s conference aims to reinforce knowledge on those topics, expose you to up and coming practice changing content, tackle tough topics like substance use disorder on the wards, communications challenges, what to do when you have trouble transferring a patient, and much more. Most importantly we are thrilled to get back together for an in-person conference to connect and bond with others who share our passion for Hospital Medicine. See you in October!
