Highlights from ACP Internist and ACP Hospitalist

ACP Hospitalist June 2018:


  • Lecturing physicians about not burning out is a delicate task, Jennifer Ramsey, MD, noted at the start of a Hospital Medicine 2018 talk on preventing, recognizing, and recovering from burnout.

  • Managing acute pain in the hospital is often tricky business, but some patients' pain can be more difficult to treat than others.

  • A wound care expert reviewed the stages of pressure ulcers (or injuries).

ACP Internist June 2018:


  • With the proliferation of the number and scope of direct-to-consumer tests, ACP is concerned about the unnecessary costs and undue anxiety for patients when results lead to follow-up testing to rule out a medical concern.

  • An ACP Fellow is headed to outer space to spend six months aboard the International Space Station.

  • Culinary medicine is a growing, evidence-based movement that brings the “food is medicine” philosophy to medical education and beyond.
