Welcome to Pediatric Hospital Medicine 2008

Each year, the three leading organizations in pediatric hospital medicine come together during the summer to offer the premier event in this rapidly growing specialty. Over the course of four days, Pediatric Hospital Medicine 2008 will raise the bar on previous editions of this immensely popular gathering, and will once again be the event not to be missed.

This year's lead sponsor, the Society of Hospital Medicine (SHM) along with its partners, the Academic Pediatric Association (APA) and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) invite you to join us, and hundreds of your colleagues, in Denver, Colorado from July 24 - 27 for Pediatric Hospital Medicine 2008. What makes this event so unique is the opportunity to attend breakout sessions specially chosen by members of the pediatric hospital medicine community.

Highlights of this year's event include:

• Keynote Address by Sanford M Melzer, MD, MBA, Seattle Children's Hospital - The Evolving Roles of the Pediatric Hospitalist
• Maintenance of Certification and Pediatric Hospitalists, an important area of interest presented by James A Stockman III, MD, President and CEO of the American Board of Pediatrics
• "Top 10 Articles" in Pediatric Hospital Medicine
• Special Pre-Course: Pediatric Fundamental Critical Care Support (PFCCS), presented by the Society of Critical Care Medicine
