Hospitalist (Community Memorial Hospital)

Join to apply for the Hospitalist (Community Memorial Hospital) role at Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine .

Department: Internal Medicine

Schedule

Hospitalists typically work a 7 on, 7 off model of 12‑hour shifts. During the week, two physicians and two APPs round with a shift start time of 7 AM. Providers alternate in a round‑and‑go model, with at least one provider staying until 7 PM. An admitter comes in at 10 AM and works until 10 PM. The night provider comes in at 7 PM and works until 7 AM. On weekends, the admitter becomes a rounder, and there are no APPs or admitters; physicians admit in a round‑robin fashion. Approximately one week in twelve is night coverage. The median census per physician team is 14 patients, with a median of 8.5 day admissions and 6 night admissions.

Patient Load

The patients are 100% inpatient with an open ICU. The median census per physician team is 14 patients, with a median of 8.5 day admissions and 6 night admissions. On‑site consultation is available from pulmonary/critical care, cardiology, surgery, and anesthesia. Other consultations can be sought from subspecialists at VCU Medical Center in Richmond, but may require the patient to be transferred.

Procedures

Hospitalists rarely perform procedures, but comfort with central lines is preferred. Providers from surgery and anesthesia perform most procedures. Codes are run by hospitalists and emergency medicine providers.

Teaching

As part of the new family medicine residency in South Hill, physicians will regularly supervise second‑ and third‑year residents. Faculty are expected to provide typical supervision, train these residents on the care of adult inpatients, and complete evaluation and feedback of the residents.
