The Division of Hospital Medicine will present Grand Rounds this Thursday at noon at University of Miami Hospital, Seminar Center. Steven Deitelzweig, M.D., chair of hospital medicine at the Ochsner Clinic Foundation and vice president for medical affairs at Tulane University, will present "DVT Prophylaxis in Hospitalized Acutely Ill Medical Patients -2010." By attending this lecture, participants will be able to list the risk factors for DVT and how to assess overall risk in each hospitalized patient, demonstrate awareness of the most recent clinical and quality guidelines for risk, assessment and prophylaxis, identify potential gaps in relation to current practice, and develop a strategy for improving guideline adherence and reducing thromboembolic risk within the hospital setting.

The lecture is designed for family practitioners, emergency physicians, surgeons, internists and hospitalists. This is a non-CME lecture. For more information, please contact Janette Jurado at jjurado2@med.miami.edu.
