The Hospitalist division of medicine at Staten Island University Hospital, under the
direction of the director of service, Aaron Gottesman, M.D., F.A.C.P. and Robert V. Wetz,
M.D., F.A.C.P. (President of Staten Island Hospitalists, P.C.), serves as the foundation
for the inpatient experience of the residency program. Consisting of exclusively
board-certified physicians, the hospitalists are involved in many teaching activities
including morning reports, teaching attending rounds, and bedside clinical examinations. They
also serve as mentors for many of the residents as well as preceptors in resident-oriented
research activities.
Since the hospitalists are available in-house 24/7 and attend to 40% of the patients
admitted in SlUH, they develop close working relationships with the residents in all
areas of clinical care. At night, they provide senior medical leadership in the hospital
and general supervision and teaching to the night float residents. The hospitalists are
consistently ranked very highly by the house staff and continue to inspire residents to
pursue careers in the fastest growing specialty in America.
A student elective is available.
