Nathan Martin, MD, is an Associate Professor of Medicine and Senior Fellow in Hospital Medicine (SFHM) with primary focus and interest in the care of hospitalized medical patients. He completed residency here at WashU/BJH in 2008 and has been on the faculty ever since. He spends the vast majority of his time taking care of patients either independently as a traditional Hospitalist, or while supervising residents and medical students on the Firm service. In addition, he spends time providing medical consultations for other services and attends on the Medicine Procedure service performing various procedures including lumbar punctures and paracentesis. While clinical care is the mainstay of his interest and what he feels is most essential as a Hospitalist, he also co-directs our Medicine Triage Attending (MTA) service. He co-founded the MTA service in July 2020 and remains a leader in ensuring the service continues to be successful. The MTA service triages all medicine patients from the ED, from direct admission locations, as well as from outside hospitals – we always try to ensure the right patient is on the right service at the right time.
