Academic Hospitalist
The UCSF Division of Hospital Medicine at UCSF Health is seeking applicants for academic hospitalist positions. Our goal is to provide these new faculty members with clinical experiences that match their interests while also creating opportunities to explore and develop a path for academic success. Most new faculty positions combine clinical experiences on the teaching and direct care services with protected time for faculty development and pursuit of academic interests. These academic interests can include (but are not limited to): medical education, quality improvement, patient safety, high-value care, global health, informatics, and social medicine.
Cardiology Hospitalist
The Cardiology Hospitalist Service (CHS) is a collaborative service involving the Division of Hospital Medicine and the Division of Cardiology at UCSF. Cardiology hospitalists rotate between 5 different shifts on 2 distinct services: Advanced Heart Failure service (day and night coverage) and the General Cardiology service (day, swing, and night coverage).
The Advanced Heart Failure (AHF) service day hospitalist provides inpatient care to patients who have advanced heart failure and pulmonary hypertension, and those who are pre- and post-heart transplantation. The cardiologists and hospitalist round on patients together and make medical decisions collaboratively in a co-management model. On the night shift, the hospitalist cross-covers and admits new patients to Advanced Heart Failure as well as the Advanced Lung Disease and Cardiology Procedures services.
The hospitalist roles on the General Cardiology service involves working collaboratively with the other members of the general Cardiology team, including cardiology attendings, fellows, residents, and APPs, to ensure outstanding medical and cardiac care for patients. Hospitalists on the General Cardiology day shift provide direct care and act as the primary attending for a cohort of patients. They collaborate on the care of these patients directly with the consult cardiologist. During the swing and night shifts, the hospitalist is responsible for new admissions and cross-coverage of the patients on the service (including hospitalist, APP, and resident teams).
Clinical Hospitalist
The UCSF Division of Hospital Medicine at UCSF Health is seeking applicants for clinical hospitalist positions. Our goal is to provide faculty members with clinical experiences that match their interests. Faculty positions include clinical experiences on the direct care, consult, comanagement, and ED triage services at UCSF Health clinical sites (Parnassus, Mission Bay, Mount Zion, and St. Mary's). Positions include daytime, nighttime, and swing shifts.
General Medicine Night Hospitalist
The UCSF Division of Hospital Medicine at UCSF Health is seeking applicants for the General Medicine Night Hospitalist position. Our goal is to provide these faculty members with clinical experiences that match their career interests. Many faculty in this role ultimately transition to subspecialty fellowships, while others remain on faculty long-term and transition to daytime clinical or academic hospitalist positions.
The Night Hospitalist Service (NHS) provides direct care to patients and supervises the patient care of internal medicine resident physicians overnight. The role offers a dynamic environment with a focus on comprehensive patient management and collaboration with other hospitalists.
NHS hospitalists primarily work at the UCSF Helen Diller Medical Center at the Parnassus Heights campus. Four night hospitalists are in-house with specified roles and responsibilities related to hospital medicine patients, including: triaging new admissions requests, admitting and cross-covering hospitalized patients, providing medicine consults to patients on other clinical services, and supervising patients cared for by the internal medicine resident physicians. The hospitalists provide clinical care for 12-hour shifts overnight and sign out to the daytime direct care hospitalist teams and resident physician teams in the morning. NHS hospitalists may also work nocturnal shifts at Mission Bay, Mount Zion, and Saint Mary's Hospital. The night shifts at these campuses have responsibilities similar to those at Parnassus Heights, but with simplified scope depending on the campus.
Hematologic Malignancy, Bone Marrow Transplant, and Cellular Therapy (HBC) Hospitalist
The UCSF HBC (hematologic malignancy, bone marrow transplant, and cellular therapy) service is a collaborative service involving the Division of Hospital Medicine and the Division of Hematology/Oncology at UCSF. The service provides care to inpatients requiring bone marrow transplant or management of malignancies of the hematopoietic system (“liquid tumors”). The service admits approximately 1200 patients per year.
Created in July 2007, the HBC Service is staffed with a unique hybrid model involving collaborative care provided by both hospitalists and oncology faculty. The hospitalists on the HBC service are physicians trained in Internal Medicine who manage the day-to- day care of the patients while the oncology physicians provide the necessary oncologic expertise. The service is organized in teams involving an oncologist, a hospitalist, and a nurse practitioner.
The service is dedicated to providing the highest quality, safest, equitable, and most compassionate and patient-centered care. The HBC Service thrives on a team model, where nurses, pharmacists, and physicians work closely together to maximize patient-centered care.
Academic Hospitalist Medicine Fellow
The UCSF Hospital Medicine fellowships have been training leaders in hospital medicine for a decade, including several prominent members of the UCSF faculty and that of other major academic institutions in the U.S. and Canada. Candidates must have completed training in internal medicine at the time of fellowship entry. We offer three fellowship types, but this specific application page only applies to the 1-year UCSF Academic Hospital Medicine Fellowship (AHMF). For the application process on the other two types of fellowship, go to: https://ucsfhealthhospitalmedicine.ucsf.edu/fellowship-programs.
Individuals pursuing academic hospitalist careers but who do not aspire to grant-funded, largely protected time research oriented fellowships are appropriate for the UCSF AHMF. This one year fellowship is designed to teach hospitalists key skills in leadership, quality improvement, patient safety, curricular development, and medical education and teaching. The fellows spend about one-third of the year on clinical services including the main teaching service and the night hospitalist service (both teaching roles). All fellows enroll in a UCSF class which provides a basic introduction to clinical research. There is ample time to work on multiple projects and all fellows complete a project suitable for presentation and publication
