Are hospitalists used at CPMC?
Yes. CPMCwas one of the first hospitals in the U.S. to employ full-time hospital-based physicians. There are currently 48 inpatient “specialists” on the acute wards and in the Skilled Nursing Facility. These “hospitalists” have special expertise in efficient inpatient management. They are important members of the teaching program, and are in the hospital 24 hours-a-day, seven days-a-week. Surveys of residents and interns have consistently shown that they are among the most visible, valued and committed teachers at CPMC.
