Inpatient (Hospitalist) Team Composition

One PGY II or PGY III resident
One PGY I residents and one to two students
The teaching teams cap at 12 patients.
Residents spend equal time on rotation with each of three Hospitalist-led teaching teams: 
Two hospitalist-led teaching teams each have one academic hospitalist attending physician of record for all patients under the team’s care.
The third hospitalist-led teaching team has two attending physicians of record who share clinical and teaching responsibilities for patients under the team’s care.

PGY I Inpatient Patient Load

Average:  6-8 patients Cap:  8 patients during the week, on weekend the cap expands to 12.

PGY II/III Inpatient Patient Load

Average: 2-4 patients
Cap: 4 patients
Senior residents cover intern patient care duties for any additional patients once the intern has reached their 8 patient cap. Because the senior resident can follow up to 4 patients, the maximum team census when combined with the intern’s 8 patients leads to a total of 12 patients.
