Job Summary
The Supervising Hospitalist serves as a core educator and attending physician within the community hospitalist program, directly overseeing First-Year (PGY-1) and Second-Year (PGY-2) residents. This role balances high-quality, efficient inpatient census management with hands-on clinical teaching. Because this is a community setting, the attending is heavily relied upon to provide real-time, bedside supervision for critical procedures (central venous catheterization, endotracheal intubation) and to lead or supervise the resident-run Rapid Response Team (RRT) and code blue activations.
Core Responsibilities
1. Clinical Supervision & Procedural Oversight
- Bedside Procedural Teaching: Provide direct, hands-on supervision and credentialing guidance for PGY-1 and PGY-2 residents performing central lines and endotracheal intubations. Ensure strict adherence to sterile techniques, safety checklists, and complication mitigation.
- Rapid Response & Code Leadership: Respond to all Rapid Response Team (RRT) calls and Code Blues alongside the resident team. Act as the ultimate authority during acute clinical deteriorations while actively coaching PGY-2 residents on team leadership and PGY-1 residents on acute stabilization mechanics.
- Graded Autonomy Evaluation: Assess the baseline procedural and clinical competency of early-career residents. Safely transition them from direct sight supervision to indirect supervision as milestone targets are achieved.
2. Educational & Inpatient Team Management
- Teaching Rounds: Lead daily, multidisciplinary family-centered or bedside teaching rounds for an assigned inpatient census. Emphasize cost-effective community medicine, diagnostic reasoning, and evidence-based care transitions.
- Didactic Contribution: Deliver small-group chalk talks, case conferences, and procedural simulation sessions tailored specifically to the learning curves of 1st and 2nd-year trainees.
- Chart Co-Signature & Documentation: Review and co-sign resident admission notes, progress notes, and discharge summaries in a timely manner. Ensure documentation accurately reflects the attending’s physical involvement and medical decision-making.
3. Administrative & Quality Compliance
- Competency Committees: Serve as a core faculty member by providing objective, milestone-based feedback to the Clinical Competency Committee (CCC) regarding resident procedural proficiency and autonomous decision-making.
- Community Care Quality: Model efficient length-of-stay management, readmission reduction strategies, and hospital safety protocols (e.g., CLABSI and VAE prevention bundles) for the trainee team.
Position Requirements
- Education: MD or DO from an accredited medical school.
- Training: Completion of an ACGME-accredited Internal Medicine or Family Medicine residency program.
- Board Status: Current Board Certification (or Board Eligibility if within 3 years of residency completion) in Internal Medicine or Advanced Hospital Medicine.
- Licensure: Unrestricted New York state medical license, active DEA certificate, and current ACLS certification (required for RRT/Code Blue oversight).
- Procedural Competency: Documented proficiency and recent clinical volume in central line placement and airway management/intubation. Prior experience working with early-stage residents in a community hospital setting is highly preferred.
