Stratford General Hospital – Hospitalist Program

The goal of this program is to provide family medicine residents with exposure to a full-service community hospitalist program.

Stratford General Hospital is a secondary care facility in Huron Perth.  We pride ourselves on a strong generalist tradition.  The hospitalist service is supported by a group of dedicated Family Physicians, who have a strong history of concurrently providing inpatient care, as well as a dynamic Internal Medicine team.

The Hospitalist department provides inpatient coverage for acute medical, surgical and rehabilitation units as MRP.  This service is complemented by a parallel supporting General Internal Medicine service caring for more unstable patients. Our program will include one-on-one time with a hospitalist with routine and scheduled teaching.  There is graduated resident independence and role responsibility as appropriate to the residents’ skill level.    Stratford has consistently been ranked as a leader in medical education over the last 10 years and we look forward to extending this experience though our Hospitalist program.

As a resident, patient responsibilities will include:

  • Providing care on an inpatient service, between the hours of 8AM and 5PM Monday to Friday.
  • Rounding 2 weekends/month (Saturday and Sunday x 2 weekends).  (There are no on-call requirements during the block).
  • A brief review of a clinical case, guideline or other education point of interest is presented and shared with other residents and staff on rotation during the block.
