A Survey of Demographics, Employment Settings and Scope of Practice of Hospitalists Trained in Family Medicine: The hospitalists who responded to this survey are an experienced group of physicians who practice in a variety of hospital settings across the country. The majority perform primary and consultative inpatient medicine including critical care. Uniquely, a significant number also offer pediatric and outpatient services. In addition to their clinical roles, these physicians participate in committee work and have leadership positions. Finally, with a remarkable number of respondents involved in medical education, these hospitalists are playing a vital role in the training of future physicians.
