Michael Pham, DO is a board-certified internist and hospitalist in Carlsbad at Scripps Coastal Medical Center on Salk Avenue near Palomar Airport Road. His dual Internal Medicine and Hospital Medicine specialization bridges outpatient chronic disease management with inpatient care transitions, a continuity model that coordinates discharge-related behavioral health needs with community providers such as S.A.G.E. Therapy Center for post-hospitalization adjustment support. A graduate of Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine, he completed his internal medicine residency — including a chief residency year — at the University at Buffalo before joining the Scripps Coastal Medical Group with affiliations at Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas and Scripps Mercy Hospital. Post-discharge rehabilitation pathways coordinate with physical therapy providers including PRN Physical Therapy - Carlsbad for patients recovering from hospital-acquired deconditioning or post-surgical mobility deficits. Highest-acuity panels include polypharmacy reconciliation across five or more concurrent medications, hospital-to-home transitional care planning, and multi-organ system workups spanning hepatic, renal, and pulmonary function assessment.
