 So what is a hospitalist? I just finished my first month of being an internal medicine hospitalist. What does that mean? Well, a hospitalist is basically any kind of doctor who takes care of you while you're in the hospital. Pretty self-explanatory. The cool part about being a hospitalist is that your schedule is very unique. Most hospitals will work seven days in a row, seven a.m. to seven p.m. and they have the entire following week off. That means that over the span of one month, you're basically working half the time. So in addition to having a pretty sweet schedule, the other parts about being a hospitalist that are very unique is that you only take care of patients in the hospital. You don't have patients that know you forever, you don't have patients in the clinic. Basically admit people as they're sick. If somebody comes in with a heart attack, pneumonia, chest pain, shortness of breath, fever, whatever, you admit them, you take care of them and then you discharge them and then you repeat the process every single day during your seven days.
