Hospital Medicine

We are a growing group of over 40 academic hospitalists with a strong foundation of excellence in clinical medicine, medical education, and quality improvement. Faculty in our group hold numerous leadership roles at the School of Medicine and UVA Health. Our goal is to serve as experts in care of the hospitalized adult, to teach learners at all levels of medical education, and to promote excellence in quality improvement and patient safety.

Amber Inofuentes, MD
Associate Professor of Medicine
Section Head, Hospital Medicine

Faculty enjoy practicing in a 600-bed quaternary care hospital in Central Virginia that serves both the urban and suburban areas of Charlottesville as well as surrounding rural and suburban areas. Our academic practice provides faculty with a diverse mixture of traditional teaching wards, co-management of oncology and orthopedic surgical patients and direct care clinical services supported by faculty development, mentorship and coaching.

The foundation of our success is our people – we seek to recruit and retain outstanding clinicians with motivation to excel in academic medicine and contribute to our mission. We commit as a Section to maintain challenging and rewarding clinical roles and to allow individuals to pursue their academic interests. We also recognize our role in promoting and supporting the success of physicians who are underrepresented in medicine, and commit to providing the necessary mentorship and support to ensure each faculty member’s success in their career trajectory.

We hope you enjoy exploring the website – you will see the breadth and depth of activities within our Section and get a sense of our outstanding faculty and staff.
