Hospital Medicine Advance Practice Provider (APP) Fellowship

We offer this clinical fellowship for PA and ACNPs who are seeking further clinical exposure as hospitalists in a bustling tertiary care setting, tending to acutely ill patients with diverse presentations and pathologies. We have developed a rigorous curriculum as described below to help APP fellows practice evidence-based hospital medicine while receiving mentorship, evaluations, and feedback at regular intervals to help refine and improve the fellow’s clinical practice.
