All hospitalist jobs are not alike—even if they have the same schedule and pay the same. There are many tangible and intangible factors involved:
- How respected the hospitalist group is in the medical community
- How serious the hospital administration is about the hospitalist program
- How much "politics" is involved:
- Are there multiple groups fighting over patients and "no doc" calls
- If it's a hospital-employed position, how assertive will the administration be in overriding your medical judgment
- How supportive the surrounding medical community is of the hospitalist program
- How competent and collaborative the fellow hospitalists are
- How accommodating the ER docs are
- How helpful and competent the nursing staff is
- How flexible the schedule is and how many onsite night shifts does it involve
- How responsive the consultants/specialists are
- How intrusive the managed care health plans are
- How diligent the case managers are
- How appreciative the patients and their families are
