What is a Hospitalist?

A hospitalist is a physician who specializes in the care of hospitalized patients. Unlike primary care physicians who manage care in outpatient settings, hospitalists focus on patients who are admitted to the hospital. They oversee all aspects of a patient’s care during their hospital stay, coordinating with specialists, nurses, and other healthcare providers to ensure the best outcomes.
