Abstract:

The 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, timesensitive 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 to manage 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.
