At Long Island Jewish Medical Center, three years of evolution have provided our hospitalist group with an opportunity to observe many facets of the process of inpatient care. Like Goldman's (1), we also think that a career path in hospital medicine is viable. The many roles a hospitalist performs extend beyond the wards, and it is clear that hospitalist development is a lengthy process and that individual career development must be nurtured through continued education and training. ...References1.
