Hospital-Based Physicians
Hospitalist
Physicians who specialize in hospital medicine are called Hospitalists; the majority of Hospitalists are trained in Internal Medicine. They often first see patients after they are admitted to the hospital from the Emergency Room; or when a patient’s primary care provider determines that the patient needs to be admitted to the hospital. The Hospitalist is a member of the patient’s medical team and follows the patient's general medical care in the hospital until they are discharged.
