Dear Colleagues,
We are delighted to welcome you to our annual Wake Forest Update on Hospital Medicine Conference. Following prior successful and enriching conferences, our team strives to support the continued education of our fellow hospitalists. In an ever-growing, comprehensive field, remaining current with guidelines and literature can be challenging. Using evidence-based medicine, this conference provides the latest updates on Hospital Medicine that you can implement in your daily practice. We invite you to this intensive 2-day course where you will engage with other hospitalists, as well as expert faculty, in lectures and a hands-on POCUS course covering up to a dozen topics. We look forward to this educational weekend with physicians, residents/fellows, advanced practitioners, and medical students. We hope to see both new and familiar faces in Hilton Head, South Carolina on October 1-2, 2021!
Sincerely,
Sarah McCollum and Chi Huang
