80067670 - 69th Annual Philip A. Tumulty Topics in Clinical Medicine

Wednesday, May 7, 2025, 7:00 AM - Friday, May 9, 2025, 5:00 PM, Chevy Chase Bank Conference Center, JHH, Baltimore, MD


Topics in Clinical Medicine began over 68 years ago with the late Dr. Philip Tumulty’s belief that faculty should communicate not only its expertise in internal medicine, but also its collegiality and warmth. To maximize the intermingling between faculty and guests, Dr. Tumulty held the course at Hopkins (not a hotel), provided daily lunches with the faculty and conducted a variety of social events. The current course directors are Drs. Gail Berkenblit, Daniel Brotman, and Kimberly Peairs. In 2025, Topics remains a course dedicated to providing the best summaries of the advances in internal medicine and extending the hospitality of Johns Hopkins’ faculty.

1. Summarize recent updates, clinical studies, and practice changing guidelines in general internal medicine.
2. Describe innovations in medications and procedures that are applicable to a general medicine practice.
3. Review updates and clinical practice strategies in the areas of general internal medicine, cardiology, endocrinology, gastroenterology, hematology/oncology, infectious diseases, nephrology, pulmonology, psychiatry, and rheumatology.
4. Obtain expert opinion and guidance through case discussions in “Meet the Professor” sessions.
