If you are looking for a career in Academic Hospital Medicine, you have found your home at Tulane! There is absolutely no residency program in the United States that has the sophistication and dedication to training future academic hospitalists like the Tulane Internal Medicine Team.
Training in Hospital Medicine is more than just doing more inpatient ward and ICU rotations. True Hospital Medicine is about ensuring Quality and Patient Safety in the inpatient environment, and about acquiring the knowledge and skills necessary to become a “systems architect” in changing the hospital system for the better. Further, it is about becoming the master in Transitions of Care.
How the Track Works
The Tulane Academic Hospitalist Track is built around preparing residents to assume a role as a leader in Academic Hospital Medicine upon their graduation. Residents interested in the Academic Hospitalist Track have the same intern-year schedule as other residents. The difference in training, however, does begin on day one. Those interested in Academic Hospital Medicine are immediately paired with a Hospitalist Mentor to begin their scholarly pursuits. And mentorship is not hard to find at Tulane: 100% of Tulane’s inpatient services are staffed by Academic Hospitalists. Exposure to these individuals, each with their own research interests in Quality and Patient Safety innovations, begins the successful journey for the resident interested in Academic Hospital Medicine.
