Hospital Medicine Fellow Needed!

2024-2025 Academic Year

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.

Applicants must be a third-year resident in good standing or a graduate of an accredited family medicine residency or internal medicine residency. Licensed or eligible for licensure in the state of North Dakota is required.

Program offers significant opportunity to tailor the curriculum to personal career objectives. Some of these opportunities include participation in hospital activities, committees, and quality improvement initiatives. Rotations include adult medicine in critical care, emergency medicine, cardiology, and pulmonology. The fellow will be able to select from additional electives including:

• Neurology
• Nephrology
• Radiology
• Anesthesia
• Interventional Radiology
• Infectious Disease

Program Goals & Objectives:

• Provide additional skill and experience in the inpatient management of adult medical patients

• Provide additional skill and experience in the needs and management of intensely ill adult patients
