About the Division of Hospital Medicine
Ohio State's hospitalist program started in July 2003 in response to patient care needs created by new work hour restrictions for house staff.In order to meet the growing patient care needs of the department, the Division of Hospital Medicine increased eight-fold to nearly 80 faculty beginning in July 2016. Among our expanding patient care initiatives, we are experiencing growth in our medical consultative service and developing new medical co-management models. We also began the inaugural year for our Clinician Educator Fellowship program.
We have advanced our core curriculum in hospital medicine for our residents and medical students, which incorporates patient safety and continuous quality improvement with evidence-based medicine, as well as plans to expand a clinical outcomes research program.
