Cases & Conundrums
Cases & Conundrums (C&C) consists of an educational activity to achieve practice improvement in the realms of medical knowledge, clinical competence and clinical performance. These bi-weekly conferences afford hospitalists the opportunity to discuss and review the latest evidence regarding the approach to clinical conundrums.
Hospitalists are encouraged to bring active cases, which require real time clinical decision-making, focusing on case-based clinical uncertainty (e.g., diagnostic, therapeutic, prognostic, communication or ethical challenges). These sessions involve group discussion, innovative use of IT for knowledge, and literature reviews with the assistance of a clinical librarian. This conference is open to anyone who attends on the Moffitt (DHM Hospitalists, DHM Fellows, DGIM Attendings).
If you know in advance that you have a case to present, please notify Maggie Jones at [email protected] or Peter Barish at [email protected].
Objectives:
- To achieve practice improvement in the realms of medical knowledge, clinical competence and clinical performance through the discussion of patient care and clinical reasoning
