Thank you for visiting the Hospital Practice Resource page. This page will direct you to useful links to toolkits, links, videos, latest articles, and other on-line contents related to hospital medicine practice. Increasing age, co-morbid conditions and now COVID-19 pandemic has made care of hospitalized patients more challenging but hospitalists are rising to the occasion and providing care in many different ways. In addition to traditional care models, hospitalists are increasingly involved in perioperative care, co-management with surgical and medical specialties and consult services.
