Neurohospitalist is a hot job right now. Lots of demand for these and you are correct - they can demand a very good salary.
My opinion - a good portion of the hospitalist work is neurovascular (stroke) so a year of stroke fellowship would be very useful and would also make you more competitive. If a hospital wants to maintain JCAHO comprehensive stroke certification status, they have to have a few board-certified stroke neurologists. If you are board certified in stroke AND a hospitalist, you will have many opportunities for jobs and demand higher compensation. Good luck
By the way, there are several different models for neurohospitalists. At our place, we have a hospitalist that comes to work every day monday through friday (like a 7-5pm job) and then other people cover the nights and weekends. There are other models where the hospitalists works 7 or 14 days straight (including nights and weekends) and then has 1-2 weeks essentially on vacation.
