Hello,

I was curious if anybody could shed some light on becoming a Pediatric Hospitalist? Is there a demand for Ped Hospitalist? Are they typically found in academic institutions? What are the schedules / pay scales like?

Any information is appreciated. Thanks!

There was literally just a thread on this topic. It's just a few down on this page. Not a lot of responses, but start there and see if it answers at least some questions.

How does this work? Dont they make you sign a 5 year contract or something?

are there really hospitalist jobs out there where you can work for 1 year and then leave for fellowship?

Yes. Some of them involve covering a Level 2 NICU or delivery room service.

This is particularly common if your fellowship is going to be at the same institution as where you are working for the year.

Like every other job, most folks prefer a 2-3 year commitment, but exceptions are made for the right person for the right reason.
