I'll be working on a hospital based ga* me, and I wanted to better understand the structures/hierarchies in hospitals, and how things are coordinated. I'm more interested in smaller hospitals and mid level..I assume things are slightly different based on size of hospital.but I guess you guys can clarify.

I had some specific questions.

1. If a resident decides to take on a fellowship. who pays for all the training?

2. I'm particularly interested in the relationship between the ER, radiology, pathology, and some of the other main specialties. For example, I've always wondered if a Cardiologist is specifically assigned to be an ER Cardiologist, or do they see patients and get called down for a consultation?

Thanks for any info
