Finding ways to support academic hospitalists

Hospitalist Leadership Connection, August 26, 2008

According to a new study released by John Hopkins University School of Medicine, the three-pronged strategy of Collaborative Inpatient Medical Service can improve the success rates of hospitalists in academic institutions. Here’s the problem: in addition to their heavy clinical responsibilities, academic hospitalists also might engage in research. This research can lack the support it needs, often because of a lack of an insufficiency of available mentors or other staff resources. To solve this problem, John Hopkins University School of Medicine developed a model that results in stronger individual hospitalist academic success. The model includes the following three steps:

  • Create a strong mentorship
  • Invest in resources
  • Recruit new faculty that have been trained in fellowships

Put in practice, this model succeeded in increasing peer-reviewed publications and grants and led its division members to be recognized as national leaders, according to the study abstract.
