Dates: February 7- February 10 Hospital service with 2 or three APP's. Normal patient load varies, typical about 15 on the service managed with at least 2 APP's M-F, 1 APP on the weekends. If the service is busy there can be a 3rd APP added to the group if lots of consults coming in. We are typically consultants, hospitalist service is typically the admitting service. Cardiology hospital service "normal" times are but can run a little later if the service is busy. I would say most often it is just an 8-9 hour day. Typical day starts with a "table top" rounding with the APP team, divide up any pending consults (APP's do the work up and present to the cardiologist). Then physically rounding on patients that need to see the physician. APP's primarily do the H&P or Consult note, progress notes, discharge summaries and enter any orders in the computer. Night call as per the schedule below. Starts at 1700 and goes until 0800 the following day. There would always be an interventional cardiologist on as back up for emergent cath/STEMI call. Hospitalist typically do the admit at night and consult cardiology for the morning. While there may be some sporadic echo or nuc study to read, this would not be the locums primary role. Someone else would be assigned to be the primary non-invasive reader of the day.
