The third hospitalist-led teaching team has two attending physicians of record who share clinical and teaching responsibilities for patients under the team’s care.

Average:  Six to eight patients cap: eight patients during the week, on weekends cross coverage of 12 is allowed.

PGY II/III Inpatient Patient Load
