Hospital Medicine Elective for IM Residents

UT Southwestern Hospital Medicine at Parkland

Over the past two decades, care of the hospitalized patient has increasingly shifted from the private physician to the professional hospitalist. The specialization of the hospitalist physician has allowed for increased efficiencies in the hospital environment, has improved quality and safety of health care institutions, and has provided tremendous opportunities for internists seeking the challenges of inpatient medicine. The Parkland Hospital Medicine elective allows residents the opportunity to participate in the hospitalist model, which provides direct attending level care and contrasts with a team-based patient care model.  The resident will have the opportunity to work one-on-one with an experienced hospitalist physician and gain an understanding of the patient care challenges, system-based practices, and lifestyle of a full-time practicing hospitalist.
