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).
Converge Brazil is taking place November 18-19, 2026 at Instituto Caldeira in Porto Alegre. This dynamic conference features clinical practice and individual reasoning sessions, highlighting broader topics that shape the future of hospital medicine. Attendees will explore epidemiology and health systems, quality and patient safety, teamwork, healthcare management, and the evolving role of technology and AI in healthcare.
Over 300 million patients undergo surgical procedures worldwide, and the age and medical complexity of this patient population continues to increase. All these patients require preoperative assessment, intraoperative management, and postoperative care. Because the breadth of knowledge in perioperative medicine, which includes the diverse disciplines of anesthesiology, internal medicine, and surgery, is vast, many practitioners may not have up-to-date information that is critical to clinical practice.
The curriculum for this course was specifically created to address the needs of clinicians who provide care for patients before, during, and after surgery based on examination of the evidence from peer reviewed literature, recent research, feedback from course participants, and input from expert colleagues inside and outside Johns Hopkins. As the established leader in perioperative medicine, this course aims to provide practitioners with the most up-to-date knowledge necessary to deliver effective, evidence-based care by affecting healthcare practices at the level of the individual and the larger health system.
The 2027 Geriatric Trauma Symposium brings together experts from across the continuum of care to share emerging evidence, innovative practices, quality improvement initiatives, and practical strategies that can improve outcomes for older adults with traumatic injury. Join an interdisciplinary community of clinicians, researchers, educators, and healthcare leaders for a two-day conference dedicated to improving the care of older adults after injury.
