The Hospitalist Fellowship Program at CHI St. Alexius Medical Center in Bismarck, North Dakota is a 1 year program that started over 10 years ago in collaboration with University of North Dakota School of Medicine and Health Sciences. The program is designed for Family Medicine or Internal Medicine graduates who are interested in pursuing a career as a Hospitalist. Our fellowship program began in July of 2012 with two fellows. The fellows work directly with St. Alexius’ hospitalist team. The field of hospital medicine is now well-established and continues to grow, with demand for hospitalists far out-weighing supply. With the concentrated inpatient training our fellowship provides, our graduates will be well-prepared to effectively practice hospital medicine in a variety of hospital settings. Enhanced skills and experience will allow the fellow to command more interest from hospital programs unaware of the potential for excellent hospital care by hospitalists trained in family or internal medicine.
