Frequently asked questions
What metrics should I include as a hospitalist?
Include relevant metrics like average length of stay, patient throughput, readmission rates, patient satisfaction scores, and any quality improvement initiatives you've led.
Should I include my shift schedule or availability?
Yes, if relevant. Mentioning your experience with 7-on/7-off schedules, night shifts, or weekend coverage demonstrates your flexibility and understanding of hospital medicine schedules.
How do I demonstrate my team leadership skills?
Highlight your experience leading interdisciplinary rounds, working with care coordinators, teaching residents, or serving on hospital committees. These demonstrate your role as a team leader.
Is board certification in hospital medicine necessary?
While not required, the Focused Practice in Hospital Medicine (FPHM) designation from ABIM is increasingly valued. If you have it or are pursuing it, include it prominently.
What if I've only been a hospitalist for a year or two?
Focus on your growth, quality metrics, and any special projects or roles you've taken on. Early career hospitalists can emphasize their residency training and adaptability.
