ACP Hospitalist is written for hospital-based internists and third-year residents. The number of hospitalists practicing today is growing as more hospitals recognize the benefit of hosting or employing doctors who can give increased attention to individual patients. Hospital medicine is attracting physicians who want to work a defined, predictable schedule with a guaranteed paycheck and who do not want the problems and expenses associated with building a practice. Over 75% of all hospitalists are trained in general internal medicine.
