T
he management of complex critically ill patients has
been overshadowed by use and abuse of technology and
test. Research shows that critically ill patients and families
often feel abandoned and rejected by the system and their
doctors who no longer perform the physical exam or interact
with their patients. The absence of patient-doctor-family
interaction has created a gap between the patient-family-
doctor relationship that can only be filled by developing a
bedside teaching that understands the complexity and builds
a compelling, time-sensitive connection with the patient
and their families. Complex, critically ill patients offer the
necessary challenge to create a Competency-Based Bedside
Medical Education.
• Understand the value of bedside medicine in the
management of complex patients as the basis for trust
and healing.
• The effectiveness of bedside medicine in the management
of complex surgical patients as the foundation for an
accurate diagnosis and high-quality patient-centered care.
• How to develop the framework for assessing the bedside
competencies required tomanage complex surgical patients.
The participants will be able to develop and apply four
pillars for an effective bedside medicine that will build the
foundation for accurate diagnosis, trust, and healing.
