[deleted746658]

obviously the market is not great right now, but when it inevitably picks up: how healthy do you think the job market for hospitalists will be in the coming 10-15 years?

the question was more so do you think hospitalist MDs will still be in solid demand in the next decade? the demand will be there for services (ie boomers, aging population), but mid-levels do pose a threat. it's really a shame that USA medicine is just a race to the bottom (line). pathetic. our program recently started to train a group of NPs. i rounded with them and dear lord talk about woefully unprepared.

I think Theresa Caputo is probably the best consultant for this question.

not the residency program, but rather the hospital.
