Episode 27: Hospitalists and Modern Cancer Care With Rebecca Berger

Rebecca Berger, MD, a hospitalist in New York shares with me the dilemma of oncology patient handoffs as well as the physician-to-hospitalist relationship.

I don’t vividly recall interacting with hospitalists when I started training in 1995, but the hospitalists movement has taken off after the year 2000 and I wanted to discuss with Dr. Berger the impact of that on care of patients with cancer along with the challenges that hospitalists face when meeting patients for the first time; patients that they had no rapport with from previous outpatient care interactions.
