NICE TO MEET YOU
I'm Dr. Chris Janowiecki
Ā
A board-certified hospitalist with over 15 years of inpatient experience.
I finished residency in 2010 and then spent a year as Chief Medical Resident before stepping straight into full-time hospital medicine. Iāve worked in academic and community hospitals, onboarded new attendings, built discharge workflows, and mentored fresh grads just starting to fly solo.
After seeing how unprepared residency leftĀ us ā I createdĀ Hospitalist Head StartĀ to bridge that gap.
This course delivers the practical, high-stakes lessons no one formally teaches, so you can walk into your first shift with confidence, not guesswork.
