Hello all,
I am currently an M3 possibly interested in FM. I was wondering if someone could outline the path to working as a general hospitalist following a FM residency. How common are FM hospitalists? Are the numbers growing? I noticed job offers online (from several different states) for hospitalists with IM or FM training. Are there any notable differences between an IM hospitalist and FM hospitalist?
Also, are you able to work as a FM hospitalist right after residency, or do you have to do some sort of fellowship (Someone mentioned there is a 'hospital medicine' fellowship for FM, but is this needed to work as a FM hospitalist, or no? If not, what is the purpose of this fellowship?)
I'm just trying to get all of this straight, as there tends to be a lot of different information online.
I really appreciate your time! All the best.
