Message from The Chief

Welcome to the University of Miami Division of Hospital Medicine. Created in 2007, the Division provides exceptional care to patients hospitalized at UHealth Tower, Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, and Bascom Palmer Eye Institute.

Hospital Medicine is a medical specialty dedicated to the delivery of medical care to hospitalized patients. Our Hospitalists are engaged in clinical care, teaching, research, and hospital leadership.

Our Hospitalists manage and treat a wide variety of complex and comorbid conditions. They are responsible for managing the day-to-day patient care needs, while also facilitating collaboration, communication and coordination with other clinical teams and personnel throughout the hospital. Our team works directly with our community partners to support the safe transition of patient care as they return to their home environment.

In addition to delivery of clinical care, our team includes hospital leaders who participate in the creation and implementation of quality and safety processes to improve the efficiency and safety of medical care for our hospitalized patients. Our distinguished faculty also includes nationally recognized speakers for the Society of Hospital Medicine and other national professional committees and organizations.

The Division of Hospital Medicine is committed to the University of Miami’s mission of academic excellence. Multiple associate program directors for our Residency program are members of our division. A portion of our clinical teams serve as a training platform for bedside teaching to our housestaff.

Our diverse group of Hospitalists are engaged in the delivery of comprehensive medical care, teach the next generation of inpatient clinical leaders, perform transformational research and serve as active members of hospital leadership.
