Diagnosis: Teaching, Measuring, Innovating with Julia Adler-Milstein, Andrew Auerbach, and Gurpreet Dhaliwal
The critical thinking required to diagnose a patient’s condition is fundamental to our work as internists. Yet if done poorly, diagnostic errors and inequities can deeply harm patients – in fact, studies have shown that several hundred thousand patients die or suffer major harm from diagnostic mistakes each year. In this Grand Rounds, we’ll have three expert faculty explore fundamental issues in diagnosis, each seen through their specialized lenses of research, informatics, and education.
The Kardos Renal Lecture: The Devastating Effect of Covid-19 on Patients with End-Stage Kidney Disease with Kirsten L. Johansen
Covid-19 has had immense impacts on our healthcare system, including on the care of our most vulnerable patients such as those with end-stage kidney disease. For our annual Kardos Medical Grand Rounds, Dr. Kirsten Johansen, professor of Medicine at the University of Minnesota Medical School and chief of Nephrology at Hennepin Healthcare, will provide insights into the impact of Covid-19 on individuals battling end-stage kidney disease.
This lecture is held in memory of Dr. Gary Kardos, who was an esteemed clinician-educator nephrologist at UCSF for several decades.
Hollander Rounds: Clinical Problem Solving with Carolyn Hendrickson
In our upcoming Hollander Rounds, we're presenting another Clinical Problem Solving (CPS) case that offers listeners a real-time opportunity to observe how master clinicians reason through challenging cases. While getting the diagnosis “right” is impressive, the true learning comes from witnessing how experts navigate the zigs and zags of a diagnostic journey in a case that unfurls in real time (as it does in life, of course). Our discussant will be Pulmonary/Critical Care faculty member Carolyn Hendrickson, MD, MPH.
