Active learning programs to improve faculty capacity for QI have […]

SHM Converge 2024
Background: The hospitalist position has exploded in recent years to become one of the largest single groups of physicians in medicine, increasing in size by 50% from 2012 to 2018. Many early career hospitalists have limited, if any, dedicated training for the role beyond their internal medicine residencies. Accordingly, new hospitalists may have greatly varying […]
