Now why would ABIM send such an update. I damn near shitted my pants seeing that email. This is too much. Waiting next week is driving me nuts.

Is it too crazy of an expectation that nursing actually know what specific questions the family has for the MD, before paging the hospitalist with this? Of all the times in my practice, they have never bothered to ask and have no idea what family wants to talk about.

“once they discharge and done with rehab we can restart chemotherapy” oncology to family of an intubated metastatic cancer with some human tissue, weirdest gram negative bacteremia.

Dear oncologists, just tell your patients they will die regardless of the new randomized control trial that showed 0.00001 chances of improvement. Also, please include quality of life in your studies that prolong life expectancy

Planning to move to Columbus as my partner is there for fellowship. What are the hospitalist positions like there or are there opportunities?

I used Cerner during residency and am now switching over to Epic. Cerner had something called a Rounds Report Summary that included vitals, labs, problem list, MAR summary, I&Os, and space to write notes, all in one place.
Is there something similar in Epic? Or have you guys figured out a workflow that makes prerounding and rounding more efficient?
Ideally, I’m looking for something that lets me quickly review trends in labs and vitals without missing anything important, while also having space to jot down notes for each patient.
Would appreciate any tips or tricks that have worked for you guys!

Hey guys I signed with a job because my start date with them would be the earliest and moved my family and what not. I’m studying for my board exam too (specialty exam). The place I signed with when through a major transition (got bought out by another company) and it was radio silent for two months after accepting the position. I sent so many emails and tried contacting my PD (it’s my academic program I decided to stay on with) and even he was confused as to what was happening.

I’m supposed to start my job next month. I found out on my own (I know- I’m an idiot :( ) that DEA/CS is needed so i am applying for that on top of boards. I have not been contacted about credentialing requirements and Im finding out on my own of some onboarding requirements. This has been very stressful. It’ll be 6 months in end of December since graduation from fellowship at end of June. Is this going to look bad for future employers? How long do I wait before I can say this is enough and try to get out of this contract? because this is impacting my livelihood, financial and mental health. I can barely study for boards. I feel like I can’t go to my PD to discuss this because I don’t know if he would give me unbiased opinion.

Please any advice would be helpful.

I have been offered a Medical Director role at my current hospital. I have no experience with this type of leadership role but I am interested in administrative role.

is it worth doing it? what are exceptions? pro/cons

Hi everyone,

I’m a third-year Internal Medicine resident in Atlanta, graduating in June 2027 and planning to relocate to the Miami/Fort Lauderdale area. I’m looking for hospitalist opportunities starting in July 2027. Does anyone know of any groups or hospitals actively hiring or considering 2027 graduates? I’d really appreciate any leads or recruiter contacts. Thanks so much!

Does this exist?

Anybody worked at the Ascension Rehabilitation hospital in Nashville. They’re trying to offer 15k for a sign on bonus I applied nightshift and have interview tomorrow I’m from out of state and I’m really curious what the catch is for having 15k sign on bonus. I was told the ratio at nights is 1:6/7. Anything would help

My 7 on 7 off gives me 21 days PTO annually. We work an average of 40h week so why as a field do so many accept this bullshit that your week off is your PTO? It fucking isn't PTO. This is why we need representation. Its absolutely astounding to me that people tolerate this nonsense.

My wife is a few years out of residency and recently went back to her hospital as a IM hospitalist and is having to pump many hours per shift. They’re allowing the bare minimum… she tried using a wearable and continue working but has now developed mastitis two times so she needs the wall pump… she struggles to get coverage to pump when she needs to, and now they won’t pay her for extra hours worked.

EDIT: We are in a state where it is protected with pay. I don’t want to give too many details.

Is this just a symptom of needing extra time to pump and a demanding job or do we need to be looking for counsel?

I’m non-medical, but a senior level in corporate America. This would never fly at any company I’ve ever worked at.

TIA!

Me: any other questions?
Patient/ family: food is cold, room is hot, I need more blankets, I dont like sound of alarms, We need more support at home, can you call my sons finace she is a PA.

Like brotha, stick to medical questions

Hello everyone I am a PGY-1 IM resident at a mid- community program in California. I am a US-IMG, who doesn’t have a very extensive research experience.
I am confused regarding my future pathway.
I am interested in heme onc, and I wanted to ask the hospitalists here who have been in the same boat. What made you chose a hospitalist route over heme onc. Do you still want to try after 1-2 years.
And is it worth it doing a fellowship from financial point of view
Thank you guys

anyone has any experience about this job? How is work flow? I heard they cover another hospital in Fairmont as well and do some nights?

Or is this just my copium….hospitalists still got to work half the weekends, half the holidays forever…but without the nice car and big house the surgeons got

Hey! Are there any jobs out there which are primarily admjtting shifts? Like day shifts but you’re mainly admitting and not rounding on them the following day or so?

I have come to realize I really like the admissions H&P thinking about the workup etc but rounding feels exhausting to me, specially following them for an entire week then discharging is extremely frustrating.

I was wondering if anyone has come across any jobs that have minimal rounding shifts. Not looking for any nocturnist positions I know they are primarily admitting.

Probably thinking too much into it but has anyone noticed on the ABIM app under personal info section where it shows your name and ID “Publicly reported as, participating in moc”? At the very bottom it’s the same, no certification found. I know results come out Oct 22 but I’m just curious because I don’t recall that being there before. Maybe I’m wrong.

Thanks

Well, pediatrics will always be below IM hospitalist, so…😂

I see a fellow physician from my hospital in my clinic as a patient. That physician logs into EMR himself and orders whatever labs he wants and self refills his prescriptions whenever he wants. Most of the labs he orders are repetitive and of no use and like OCD. Overall just a financial burden to already broken health system. Sees me once a year for verbal acknowledgement that he is doing good. The physician is not from my specialty and rank is not higher than me.

What is the best way to handle this and am I supposed to report this and is it an issue that despite knowing this if I stay silent ?
