Abstract: | BACKGROUND: Concerns have been raised about the role that hospitalists may have in changing the educational process for medical students and residents, especially with regard to the primary care specialties. METHODS: We implemented rotating hospital and office duties within our five-physician group. RESULTS: Resident and student satisfaction increased, and additional faculty members could be added without expanding office space. Financial benefits then also ensued. CONCLUSION: Rotating hospital with office duties among a small group of internists has resulted in most of the advantages with few of the drawbacks related to the hospitalist approach. |
