Overview

The Hospitalist Program at Johns Hopkins Hospital is a group of more than 50 faculty, 12‑14 APP, and 5‑6 support staff embedded within the Department of Medicine. The group's mission includes patient care, education, research, and clinical administration.

The Hospitalist Program operates a hospitalist‑run Resident‑covered general medical service (“Brancati Service”), a consult service, co‑management services (Orthopedic Surgery Co‑management and Oncology Solid Tumor Co‑management), a Medicine Progressive Care Unit (“MPC”), a flex hospitalist program, and Hopkins Access Line coverage. The Hospitalist Unit and Brancati Service together manage up to 90 inpatients. Faculty may also participate in non‑program activities such as Pediatrics and the Osler Firms.

New clinical services (e.g., neurology IMC co‑management, short‑stay unit) are being explored and may be deployed within the next year.
