mdfever Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 Hi all, I am seriously thinking of become a hospitalist, can anyone offer any advise like their experience with the program (especially the on at U of T)? What is the salary like and prospect in Ontario? Also in the US too? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knovecc Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 from BC prospective: I feel that the hospitalist has become the new ``fashion`` for new FM graduates (like EM was a few yrs ago). Almost half of my graduating class in FM were involved into the local hospital's hospitalist team (FT or PT) immediately after finishing R2. I think the schedule is like 7d on, 7d off. For the 7d that you are ''on call'', the schedule is still pretty much regular 8:30-5, you are rarely bothered for the afterhour house calls as you have residents (it's a teaching hospital on the Island) who are 1st respondents. For the code, there's the ICU code team. So all is covered. The salary was about 135$ per hour 2 yrs ago. I was told that it's increased to 150+ recently. Hope it helps.

Round the clock coverage in most hospitals I have been exposed to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
