OBGYN Hospitalist Fellowships: An Update on Fellowship Training in the United States.

ABSTRACT

Due to improved outcomes in clinical care, patient safety, and education, demand for OBGYN hospitalists is increasing. As a result, an OBGYN hospitalist fellowship was developed to train future leaders in OBGYN hospital medicine. This article is a discussion regarding the landscape of OBGYN hospitalist fellowships across the country. Utilizing information from program-specific Web sites, as well as discussions with past and present fellowship directors, this article summarizes key differences and similarities across programs, as well as reviews important considerations for those hoping to start a fellowship at their own institution.
