Hospital Medicine Fellowship Program

Larry Wellikson: Talks about SHM's Fellow Designation

On May 16 2009, the inaugural class of 514 Fellows was inducted at Hospital Medicine 2009 in Chicago, IL. This inaugural group included well-known pioneers of our specialty and is seen throughout the health care community as including those hospitalists most committed to hospital medicine and improving quality in their institutions.

This microsite is your glimpse of how you can join the likes of Mark Williams, John Nelson, Win Whitcomb and others inducted in this first class. SHM's Fellows program is rooted in the Society's Core Competencies in Hospital Medicine and those who earn the FHM, SFHM, or MHM designations will have demonstrated a commitment to hospital medicine, system change and quality improvement principles.

Being a part of the Fellow in Hospital Medicine Program will allow you the opportunity to demonstrate your commitment to Hospital Medicine and provide you with access to a host of benefits not available to SHM's general membership or the specialty as a whole.

We expect that Fellows will include their respective designations right after their MD on all their correspondence to let the world know they have achieved this status.
