CHMP Inpatient Medicine Teaching Curriculum


GIM Home		Consultative & Hospital Medicine Program Inpatient Medicine Teaching Curriculum Mission Statement We've designed these handouts for University of Washington internal medicine residents and attendings. The handouts focus on practical diagnosis and management tips that can be used at the hospital bedside or on teaching rounds. We've selected 15 common or high-risk admitting diagnoses as the core topics, which represent many of the most familiar diagnoses in U.S. hospitals. Case patients in the handouts are inspired by those we cared for on the Harborview hospitalist service. Scroll down for addition handouts covering dozens more common inpatient medicine topics. We attempt to reflect current medical evidence and update the topics yearly, but information in the handouts should never supercede clinical judgment for individual patients. Let us know what you think, Anneliese Schleyer, MD, Erin Sutcliffe, MD, and Audrey Young, MD, Editors * These topics have been peer reviewed Core Inpatient Medicine Curriculum • Acute Abdomen* • Acute Pancreatitis * • Acute Renal Failure* • Care of the Indigent Patient * • Cellulitis/Skin & Soft Tissue Infections* • Community Acquired Pneumonia* • COPD Exacerbation* • Deep Venous Thrombosis* • End Stage Liver Disease - Ascites* • End Stage Liver Disease - SBP* • Gastrointestinal Bleed - Upper* • Gastrointestinal Bleed - Lower* • Inpatient Management of Diabetes • Inpatient Management of Hypertension* • Pain Management in the Hospital* • Patient Safety and Quality Improvement* • Pyelonephritis* • Urinary Tract Infections* • Venous Thromboembolic Disease* Click on topics below to go to specific handouts or scroll down for complete list.
