Addiction Medicine Fellowship is a one-year program, usually spread over two years, with approximately 50% of time spent as hospitalist attending and 50% in fellowship training (in partnership with Department of Psychiatry), with the goal to join a successful group of our faculty who combine a career in hospital medicine with inpatient consultation and outpatient addiction medicine clinical care. The fellowship is most appropriate for faculty with a few years of experience as an academic hospitalist.

The Hospital Medicine Section faculty has longstanding, robust collaboration with the Weill Cornell Medicine Division of Medical Ethics. Several hospital medicine faculty have trained and served as clinical ethics consultants, drawing upon their unique perspectives on clinical care, medical education and the psycho-social determinants of health. Hospital medicine faculty also serve as site directors for Ethics at NYP- Lower Manhattan and Brooklyn Methodist Hospital.

Hospitalists at Weill Cornell Medicine are also involved in ethics education, serving as faculty in several ethics courses including the Essential Principles of Medicine, Health, Illness and Disease and Advanced Clinical Ethics courses.

The collaboration between hospital medicine and ethics has produced an extraordinary body of scholarship, with peer reviewed publicationsencompassing clinical ethics, medical humanities, religion and medicine, history of medicine and other disciplines.

The Weill Cornell Medicine NewYork-Presbyterian Simulation Center’s Fellowship in Simulation Education offers healthcare professionals an exciting opportunity to become leaders in interprofessional and interdisciplinary simulation education through experiential learning. Fellows will work with experts in medical education to develop simulation curricula, design research projects, become proficient in simulation operations and learn to manage a simulation program. To learn more, please see here.

The Division of General Internal Medicine provides hospitalists with multiple opportunities for research mentorship and training. Our two most common pathways are the Cornell Hunter Health Equity Research Fellowship and the Cornell Global Health Research Fellowship. Each fellowship is two to three year post-doctoral training for researchers in primary care, inpatient care and global health designed for physicians to become independently research funded. Themes of the fellowship are research in health services, health equity and global health. Typically, physicians spend around 20% with clinical time 80% research. 

• Master Coach Program is a one-year faculty development program aimed to train faculty as coaches, to champion growth mindset and deliberate practice in Academic Medicine through coaching. Participants hone their coaching skills through engaging with the coaching community during a longitudinal skills development curriculum and peer coaching in the clinical environment. 
  
• Group Peer Mentoring Program is a novel faculty development strategy. It consists of small groups of 8-12 faculty and meet four times a year for full day long workshops with trained facilitators, and complete assignments with peer mentors on topics between each session. Topics include reflection on values, strengths, career vision, and legacy, design thinking, long and short-term goal-setting and planning, personal-professional integration, mentoring frameworks and skills and leadership training. 
• EXCEL (Excellence through Coaching, Evaluation, and Learning) Program is a longitudinal, peer-coaching initiative designed to support Weill Cornell Medicine faculty in their ongoing development toward clinical, teaching, and leadership excellence. Through individualized coaching with Master Coach–trained faculty over 6–12 months, participants engage in deliberate practice, reflective learning, and targeted skill-building to deliver outstanding clinical care, teaching, inter-professional collaboration, and team leadership. EXCEL reflects Hospital Medicine's commitment to lifelong learning, continuous growth, and a culture of high-performance coaching to cultivate expertise.
• Education Hub is a program to build a community of medical educators within hospital medicine. Through monthly hybrid meetings, the Education Hub brings educators together to strengthen communication across the Undergraduate Medical Education (UME), Graduate Medical Education (GME), Continuing Medical Education (CME) and Physician Assistant (PA) education continuum and to share resources and expertise in curriculum development, program evaluation, and medical education scholarship. The Hub was created in response to needs identified in the Hospital Medicine Medical Education Survey and provides a dedicated space for hospital medicine educators to connect, collaborate and advance educational initiatives. 
• Hospital Medicine Grand Rounds is a recurring educational series held three times each month for Hospital Medicine attendings and physician assistants, with one session each month devoted to a department-wide grand rounds presentation. The goal of the conferences is to educate clinicians by providing timely, interdisciplinary learning that enhances knowledge, clinical practice and the quality of inpatient care. The lectures cover a broad range of topics relevant to hospital medicine including medical and non-medical subspecialties, quality and patient safety and case-based presentations.
