Is there any CAQ for hospitalist medicine?

[genessis42]

I know they used to have a Designation for Focused Practice in Hospital Medicine which was an extra test that was also offered through American Board of Internal Medicine. But now they're actually discontinuing that test.

I wanted to ask, what is the prospect for FM doing hospital work? I've met a lot of FM docs who told me that the ABFM certification by itself is enough

I'm an FM doc in a rural area and round on my own inpatients, I have no special CAQ/certification/designation my employer required for me to do so, they just wanted my case and procedure logs from residency and fellowship.

ETA: also moonlit independently as a hospitalist at my previous hospital during fellowship
