Abstract
Based on a 2016 survey of family physicians who were then three years out of residency training, we found that almost 9 percent self-identified as hospitalists. These family physician hospitalists were significantly more likely than their non-hospitalist peers to be male, work longer hours, be better paid, and be more satisfied with their work. These attributes may attract more family physicians to hospital medicine, with negative implications for the supply of primary care physicians. (J Am Board Fam Med 2018;31:680-681.).
