Details of the Hospitalist work is as follows:
• Hospitalists are on-call for new admissions 1/3 of the week according to the schedule. Admissions typically come from the ER or the ICU.
• Call starts at 08:00hrs and ends the next day at 08:00 hrs. Your patients are primarily Medical Patients. Emergency physicians do admit orders, and will also hold calls from 23:00 hrs. until the next am at 07:00 hrs. before calling. Admissions are divided equally among the three or four hospitalists, usually when you meet in the am.

The first day starts at 8:00 am with transfer rounds from the departing hospitalist (or the Thursday evening prior over the phone). This is a verbal transfer of MRP duties to you. On the Friday following your last day (or Thursday evening), you are expected to provide the next hospitalist with a verbal transfer of your patients’ care.
