"The physicians who will thrive in the years ahead are those who can adapt alongside the accelerating changes in healthcare and technology without losing sight of the human side of medicine. In The Modern Hospitalist, Dr. Parks speaks directly to that need, offering early-career physicians a practical and meaningful roadmap for navigating modern practice with insight, resilience, and purpose." — Brett A. Oliver, MD Chief Medical Information Officer, Baptist Healthcare System, Inc.

“The Modern Hospitalist offers an articulate and pragmatically oriented synthesis of contemporary inpatient practice—one that accurately characterizes the clinical complexity of hospital medicine while providing an actionable framework for professional sustainability. Drawing together the art of caregiving, the science of clinical reasoning, and the operational and financial realities that influence outcomes, Dr. Andrew Parks delineates a cohesive approach that advances judgment, interdisciplinary communication, and physician leadership at both the bedside and the system level. Supported by experience-informed narrative, evidence-based concepts, and structured reflection questions that promote application to practice, this is an essential read for hospitalists and for any clinician committed to high-reliability care, collaborative team performance, and leadership at the bedside and across teams.” — Isaac J. Myers, II, MD Chief Health Integration Officer, Baptist Health System; President, Baptist Health Medical Group

“Parks does an excellent job of highlighting the convoluted inequities in our healthcare system. He does this without judgement but with a meticulous assessment of reality. We all need to read what Parks has to say so that we can truly understand the present and be prepared to redirect the future.” — Sally Tassani President, The Strategy Forums
