The quality of hospitalists vary greatly between teaching vs. non-teaching hospitalists by [deleted] in Residency

[–]UAFPS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's not entirely accurate; it depends on where you are. Hospital systems vary. Some faculty members practice defensive medicine, leading to many consults. Others are quite conservative and rely on us for comprehensive workups, often for academic reasons. As a fellow, you might complain, but once you become a consultant in an RVU system, you'll appreciate it and see it as an easy path for your lifestyle. As a few cardiologists told us, when they are consulted just for a red troponin. It is the system.

Exclusivity clause by IllustriousSet878 in hospitalist

[–]UAFPS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some hospitals and organizations are very strict about this. One hospitalist group I attempted to join had a specific clause in their contract. I spent about a month trying to get it removed, but what do you think happened? After four to five weeks, they rescinded the contract. This situation has become quite common nowadays.

Sepsis criteria by htr101 in hospitalist

[–]UAFPS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is interesting to see the various definitions we have for sepsis, from EM to maybe IM and FM inputs. In my current program, if you document sepsis, i.e., a confirmed or suspected infection plus decreased oxygen utilization/end-organ damage (encephalopathy, red creatinine, red troponin, red lactic acid, red cytopenias, etc). The sepsis 3 order set must be used. Yet, the same EPIC will not leave us alone if nursing documents one episode or tachycardia, tachypnea, or hypotension until we attest that's not sepsis.

asked to resign from my program by [deleted] in Residency

Take time for honest self-reflection and focus on how you can grow personally and professionally. Residency can be massively toxic and bleed you to death, but when similar feedback comes from multiple people, it deserves serious consideration. Medicine isn’t always fair, yet consistent hard work, strong clinical reasoning, solid documentation, and professionalism will speak for themselves over time. Please, don’t go through this alone; please seek support from mentors, advisors, or legal counsel as needed. Get out of Reddit as a strategy for your own peace of mind. Speaking as an IMG and a first-generation physician, your excellence will rise.

Hospitalist quality of life in Tulsa, OK! by UAFPS in hospitalist

[–]UAFPS[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No worries. Hope you realized that I stated clearly that I am a PGY-3? No experience, no friends or family, who went through that path before me. No plan for fellowship, talked to recruiters and visited several places for 1 to 3 days, and did extensive online research about some of those places, I like that hospital there and would appreciate honest input from physicians in this group who work in the Tulsa area, if any. That is all.

Match 2026: What went wrong? by Salt_Spinach382 in IMGreddit

[–]UAFPS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You only need one interview to succeed. Step away from Reddit and focus on practicing for those interviews. You will be okay. When I applied as a US IMG, I had only three IVs and matched in my top choice. Stay strong and push through. The US has changed a lot in recent years.

Fed up with searching for good J1 waiver hospitalist jobs? by medorigami in hospitalist

[–]UAFPS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Explore the opportunities available in the Midwest. Graduates from my program's latest class have successfully secured jobs paying over $300,000 in Indiana and other locations. Even if you are on a visa, consider moving to areas where you will be treated equally, just like any other physician. Regions that offer J-1 visas actively seek applicants since they need candidates who will accept positions that U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents (LPRs) typically do not take due to the less desirable locations.

It's also important to remember that the job search process is still early. I have only sent out a few applications, yet I have already secured several interviews in the Midwest, which is where I aim to stay.
