Approaching my last year of residency and debating whether to apply for HPM now vs. wait.
I've done several rotations in palliative medicine, enjoy it greatly and envision myself practicing it at some point in my career. However, I would like maintain a strong foothold in general medicine and do hospitalist work post-residency - ideally it would be a little of both. How common is it for those who've trained in HPM to continue practicing their original field? I'm a little worried that it will be hard to get back into the hospitalist mindset after a year in fellowship - any tips for staying fresh? Maybe a little moonlighting?
Thanks in advance.
