[QUOTE="AMEHigh, post: 22082037, member: 215742"] To be honest I think "if there's a will there's a way" in many things in FM. I went to residency in the general vicinity and to be honest my program wasn't SUPER inpatient heavy, but one of my co-residents really wanted to do hospitalist so he did electives and just studied on his own and that's what he does now. I believe he had multiple job offers. There were multiple hospitalists where we rotated that were FM that weren't affiliated with our residency program as well. You could also do a fellowship if you feel like you need an extra year of training to be comfortable. And going the academic route is also an option. My first job out of residency was working closely with a FM academic program (again in the general vicinity you mention) and there were multiple attendings that did mostly hospitalist work. It doesn't seem like it'd be worth it to switch to IM unless you want to do an IM fellowship or you just prefer the rotations that an IM residency offers. Have to figure out if losing a year or 2 would be worth it for you. [/QUOTE]
