Day Hospitalist
This is a two-week rotation with the Hospitalist Service, which provides care to patients under medical observation, inpatient hospitalization, and inpatient general medicine consultation. The clinical experience involves higher patient turnover, greater coordination of care, and clinical triaging skills.
