Leadership related to hospital care.
Mostly hospitalists are physicians with a Doctor of Osteopathy (D.O.) or Medical Degree (M.D.). About 78% of practicing hospitalists are trained in general internal medicine. Another 4 % are trained in an internal medicine subspecialty, most commonly pulmonology/critical care medicine. About 3 % of hospitalists are trained in family practice about 8 % are pediatricians and 2 % are trained as med-peds (training in internal medicine and pediatrics). The remaining 5 % of hospitalists are non-physician providers, usually nurse practitioners and physician assistants.
Career as hospitalist:
Medsource Consultants recruit hospitalist for our nationwide clientele. Our service is free to new hospitalists looking to find their next career opportunity. Some doctors have been in practice since the 70's or 80's, but there has been a rapid growth in physicians stepping in hospitalist work since the mid 1990's. In fact, very few doctors who finished training in 1996 were aware of this career option, but by 1998 it had become a very popular career choice. There were an estimated 300 to 400 doctors practicing as hospitalists in 1995, and by late1998 this number had grown to over 3,000. It appears that the rapid growth will continue for the next few years.
Advantages of becoming a hospitalist:
The opportunity to focus on inpatient care - many find it more rewarding and stimulating than ambulatory care
Many hospitalists feel like their training provided better preparation for inpatient care than ambulatory care
Hospitalist practice is a simpler business to manage than outpatient private practice
A hospitalist can be busy on the first day of work and doesn't need to spend months or years building a practice, as can be the case for office-based practice
Greater flexibility in scheduling, e.g., many hospitalists don't follow a typical Monday to Friday schedule
