Abstract This article presents an updated framework from the Society of Hospital Medicine for individual learning objectives related to key procedures in hospital medicine. Building upon the 2017 framework, these objectives have been revised to reflect evolving clinical evidence, advancements, and shifts in hospital medicine practice patterns. The methodology included a comprehensive literature review, expert consensus panels, and feedback from practicing hospitalists across diverse clinical settings. The updated learning objectives address procedural competencies for the most common interventions in hospital medicine, including arthrocentesis, emergency procedures, interpretation of chest radiographs and electrocardiograms, lumbar puncture, paracentesis, thoracentesis, and vascular access. These revised learning objectives provide a framework to guide curricular development, continuing medical education, and hospital medicine practitioners in developing and maintaining procedural competence essential for high‐quality inpatient care.
