The goal of the Hospital Medicine Fellowship at Mayo Clinic Health System — Eau Claire, is to train physicians who will provide outstanding collaborative and comprehensive inpatient care, who become expert clinicians and future leaders in hospital medicine.

Hospital Medicine is the fastest-growing medical specialty which requires diverse and unique skill sets. Hospitalists must be able to care for acutely ill adults with a wide spectrum of diseases while engaging in effective interprofessional collaboration.

• Develop skills and expertise in managing the complex adult inpatient population admitted to the general medical and surgical floor, progressive care unit, and intensive care unit
• Refine skills in providing consultation for common inpatient medical problems in the behavioral health unit and in the gynecology and obstetrics department
• Learn how to coordinate inpatient care, communicate effectively with the care team and consultant services, provide evidence-based care in community-based hospitals in a rural setting, and create safe discharge plans
• Develop skills in Point of Care Ultrasound for diagnostic aid and procedures purposes such as central line placement, paracentesis, and thoracentesis

Program highlights include:

• A Flexible training curriculum tailored to each fellow's individual career goals
• Experience in telemedicine through Mayo Clinic's Advanced Care at Home program with the opportunity to collaborate with care teams across Mayo Clinic locations
• Participating in a research or quality improvement project mentored by experienced and well-published faculty
