Anyone care to speculate? The Society of Hospital Medicine and AAFP released a joint statement saying FM hospitalists should and will continue to be a thing. It also said FM hospitalists will be able to sit for the new board certification exam which is jointly administered by the ABFM and ABIM. This certification will eventually serve as the standard for all hospitalists, regardless of residency training.
We’ve seen joint statements before. We know what happened with OB and emergency medicine. Do you guys think hospital medicine will end of being internal medicine turf, or do you all anticipate hospital medicine becoming a subspecialty and shared turf between FM and IM, similar to sleep, sports, geriatrics, etc?
