ADVANCED HOSPITALIST

This rotation’s purpose is to allow our senior residents (PGY 3) to have the opportunity to work one-on-one with an attending hospitalist that is part of the inpatient Long Street Clinic hospitalist model. The learner will have the opportunity to further develop his/her clinical care and medical knowledge in hospital medicine, while learning to communicate and improve the pathway for continuity of care for the patient after discharge. PGY-3 will also learn about the administrative and financial aspects of hospital care, and have the opportunity for direct observation, bedside teaching and role modeling by the faculty. The goal of this rotation is to prepare the senior resident for independent practice after graduation from residency.
