The Society of Hospital Medicine (SHM) is a medical society comprised of hospitalists that exists to promote exceptional care for hospitalized patients.
As hospital medicine is a broad and diverse topic, continuing medical education (CME) and training opportunities continue to expand for hospitalists. SHM compiles an ongoing list of recommended, hospital medicine-specific programs that we find to be of value to our members. The CME opportunities listed below are sponsored by other organizations.
With the growth of the hospital medicine specialty, education and training opportunities continue to expand for hospitalists. In addition to SHM’s conferences, various organizations host CME and non-CME events that are relevant to our membership. Review the list below of upcoming SHM conferences of interest.
For a full listing of SHM-endorsed meetings, from local chapters to national conferences, visit the Event Calendar on the Hospital Medicine Exchange (HMX).
The 2026 Boot Camp will be led by a faculty of more than 15 experienced delirium researchers, who collectively have expertise in everything from animal models, biomarkers, epidemiology, clinical trials, implementation science, artificial intelligence, and statistical methods (and their application to research in the clinical settings where delirium is most frequently encountered). The Boot Camp is all about junior researcher mentorship and engagement: program highlights include interactive didactic sessions on a broad range of topics, mock-NIH study sections, formal (and informal) networking and mentorship sessions!

Concept:
The Management of the Complex Hospitalized Patient activity is designed to provide physicians, physician assistants nurse practitioners with information and skills to improve their care of hospitalized patients. Topics presented will focus on special populations, such as geriatrics, and medical problems that span a spectrum of sub-specialties, such as end of life care, addiction medicine and fluid management in the ICU. In addition, it will examine growing trends such as accountable care organizations and information technology systems and what that means for our patient population and care. The activity will address upcoming regulatory changes and review existing definitions.
