Regarding FM vs. IM for hospitalist. Of course, IM would be best if it's strictly for hospitalist, though FM is well accepted in the community (while IM seems to be preferred in academia), but the problem is when you get burned out and want to do something else. FM seems the better choice for almost everything else including primary care. IM and FM can both do primary care, but FM is far better trained at PCP work (at least immediately post residency). Plus FM can see groups like peds and deliver babies, unlike IM. And FM just has better training in things like derm, msk, outpt procedures, etc. I know it's always possible to learn new skills post residency, but it'd be better to have it built into one's residency, which is what FM is all about. Plus FM is usually preferred for urgent care, ER, etc. And it's easier to be recognized as FM internationally if someone ever wants to work overseas or even live overseas. IM is more difficult to get recognized since many other nations (e.g. UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand) don't really seem to have general IM doing PCP or GP work.
That’s a great question!! A hospitalist is a physician that works in inpatient medicine primarily. Hospitalists essentially are the “primary care” while a patient is admitted to the hospital. Hope that was helpful? Let me know if would like a video or more details :) thanks for watching!
Be nice to the EVS workers who make it possible for you and your patients to work and heal! Most docs and nurses treat EVS like they have shit on their faces! It’s sad and wrong!
I’m currently still in residency- so I definitely do not! ☺️ 6 more months until graduation! Check out: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2s1X98mOx4A.htmlsi=SVegiSbGOSZ0lKzB It’s where I break down how much I as an intern… I make slightly more now but not by much. Things will def change though once i graduate- a substantial pay raise 😊
