The Society of Hospital Medicine (SHM) is a medical society comprised of hospitalists that exists to promote exceptional care for hospitalized patients.
In the support of the Society of Hospital Medicine’s (SHM’s) mission and commitment to nurturing the growth of a vibrant hospitalist workforce and community and eliminating health disparities for hospitalized patients across the country, we proudly announce SHM’s Hospital Medicine Scholarship Fund made possible by its Keystone Sponsor, Vituity.
Hospital Medicine Scholarships for Students
SHM will provide one deserving third-year medical student with a $25,000 medical education scholarship. SHM will award the scholarship to a medical student interested in pursuing a career in hospital medicine who has articulated a commitment to practicing in an underserved community.
SHM’s objective in developing this scholarship fund is to support the next generation of hospitalists by identifying medical students who are economically disadvantaged. Additionally, we are seeking students who have demonstrated a commitment to health equity and improving care for underserved communities. We recognize that there is a critical opportunity to encourge the growth of a pipeline of physicians who will willingly support underserved communities given the projection of a significant need for physicians in many communities.
Criteria for Participation
Students may self-nominate and apply, or a medical school may nominate one student per year for this award.

Applications are now open until 11:00 PM ET on February 4, 2026.
