The Hospitalist Pathway is designed for residents who wish to prepare for a career in inpatient general medicine.  As part of this pathway, residents are given priority in scheduling career specific rotations like the stroke team and the hospitalist elective, which is a one-on-one experience with an experienced hospitalist on a non-teaching service.  Residents also attend conferences hosted over the noon hour where hospitalists discuss topics like inpatient billing, health care delivery systems, patient safety, and how to go about doing a job search for hospitalist positions with the residents.
