Hospitalists supervising students and residents are an important source of feedback, yet must balance teaching with the demands of direct patient care and other non-clinical obligations. 84% of 812 hospitalists in a national […]

Hospital medicine FD may be an effective approach to decrease turnover and improve job retention counter burnout, particularly salient given the unique demands on hospital clinical staff, in a newer specialty […]
