Derm-hospitalist?Thank you for your detailed and helpful responses!
To clarify, when I said the intersection of these fields, I meant specifically the intersection of rheum and derm or onc and derm.
Do you think there's any utility in having IM training to help with the inpatient/hospitalist side of being a derm-hospitalist, or in general just the medicine knowledge-base IM provides when dealing with systemic conditions that may affect the skin? If not, I'm wondering why these combined residencies exist if you can get to your end goal of complex med derm or inpatient derm without the IM component. Is it specifically for people who want to practice both IM and derm?
