News
Learn how the media and healthcare industry are covering the development of OB/GYN hospitalist programs.
Over the last few months, your editor has changed the news articles
somewhat by adding more clinical articles and not only confining the
news to the business of OB/GYN hospitalists. To make things more
pertinent, there will now be comments.
As always, I would appreciate feedback. Also, I would encourage your comments about existing articles or suggestions for news or clinical studies that have been overlooked.
