I have a few questions on how the job of a hospitalist works.
1. If you want to be a pediatric hospitalist, do you just do your regular pediatric residency of 3 years? Is there any other training you need to be a hospitalist?
2. How does the salary work? Do you get paid with a base salary or per patient? Obviously its not like private practice because its much less business oriented. On this note, who takes care of all the business parts if you're working in a hospital.
3. Most of the hospitalist jobs tend to be Internal Medicine. How difficult is it to find a hospitalist job in pediatrics? Obviously jobs are very limited. So is it pretty much impossible to find one?
4. Many hospitalist jobs have 7 days on/ 7 days off with 12 hour shifts. What do you do during this shifts...make rounds?
I know its a lot of questions, but I haven't heard much about hospitalists' jobs. Any help would be great.
