Hospital Medicine

Introduction

Most Canadian hospitalists are family physicians who have developed the necessary set of skills required to care for their complicated hospitalized patients through years of experience.听 In our ever-changing health care climate, with the complexity of patient care, the development of quality metrics and resource efficiencies as part of the everyday life of a hospitalist, there is a need for extra training opportunities.听 The development of key clinical abilities are needed for this role and often times there is insufficient time in our two year family practice residency to focus on the inpatient.听听 The future viability of community hospitals is at stake, as fewer family medicine graduates complete their training and take up inpatient work with our community hospitals.

Specific Objectives

The goal is to develop enthusiastic family physicians that choose to work primarily in hospitals, while still adhering to the founding principles of Family Medicine while providing a multidisciplinary approach to patient care and having a vested interest in making hospitals run better.听 Future graduates will take leadership roles in addressing quality, efficiency, and cost effectiveness, by improving care processes from admission to discharge. The Society of Hospital Medicine in the United States developed a 51-chapter document in 2002 outlining the core competencies that were felt to be the necessary skills that all hospitalists should have.听 They used their core competencies to set expectations regarding the role of hospitalists, developing knowledge, skills and attitudes to have a successful and pivotal role in hospital culture. These documents have been reviewed and have assisted in planning a solid foundation for this program while helping to guide its future development.
