Hospital medicine in the United States is the medical specialty concerned with the care of acutely ill hospitalized patients. A hospitalist is a physician who cares for patients while in the hospital. Similar to a primary care doctor, a hospitalist is trained in general internal medicine and other specialties. From the point of admission through discharge, a hospitalist manages a patient’s treatment course by coordinating and consulting with specialists, scheduling tests, monitoring progress, as well as discharging the patient to his or her primary care physician.
