The Role of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospitalist in the Changing Landscape of Obstetrics and Gynecology Practice.

ABSTRACT

As the field of obstetrics and gynecology (Ob/Gyn) evolves, the role of the Ob/Gyn hospitalists has become increasingly integrated into the framework of the specialty. Ob/Gyn hospitalists take on essential responsibilities as competent clinicians in emergent situations and as hospital leaders maintaining standard of care, collaborating with community practitioners and care teams, promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion practices, and contributing to educational initiatives. The impact of the Ob/Gyn hospitalists is positive for patients, fellow clinicians, and institutions. As the field continues to change and the Ob/Gyn hospitalist develops as an established subspecialty, further research evaluating its role remains essential.
