The focus of this unique track is to progressively increase clinical autonomy for senior residents during PGY-3 year in preparation for independent practice as a hospitalist. There is also a longitudinal curriculum/lecture series which focuses on career development/mentorship, healthcare economics (documentation/billing), peri-op medicine, transitions of care/interdisciplinary involvement, academic medicine, etc.
Rotation structure and didactics
The pathway will consist of a 2-week rotation which will occur twice during PGY-3 year.
One week of the rotation will be 1:1 with an attending hospitalist Monday-Friday on an Attending Directed Service. The other week of the rotation will be 1:1 with an attending hospitalist Monday-Friday on the Medicine Consult Service.
The virtual curriculum will be completed throughout the year longitudinally during evening hours. The virtual lectures will focus on career development/mentorship, healthcare economics (documentation/billing), peri-op medicine, transitions of care/interdisciplinary involvement (anticipatory discharge needs), academic medicine, etc.
Additionally, there are bi-annual career panels and social gatherings as time and scheduling allows to further support professional development.
Rotation surveys
There is a pre- and post-rotation survey to assess comfort level regarding various hospitalist-specific topics, as well as comfort level in independent practice. Once graduated, there is also a 1 year post-graduation survey.
