A native of the Dominican Republic, Dr. Rodriguez-Jimenez earned his medical degree from the Universidad Cetec Santo Domingo Escuela de Medicina in 1982. After relocating to the United States, he completed his residency at Albany Medical Center in New York.

Hospital medicine is a medical specialty that exists in some countries as a branch of internal or family medicine, dealing with the care of acutely ill hospitalized patients. The primary focus is caring for hospitalized patients and co-management with other specialties. Hospitalists take an active part in medical care and ensure a safe discharge for the patients they take care of. They are being increasingly involved in administrative roles, given their expertise and collaboration with various teams in the hospital.
