The Society of Hospital Medicine (SHM) is a medical society comprised of hospitalists that exists to promote exceptional care for hospitalized patients.
It’s never too soon to become a member of SHM. As a resident member, you will receive access to many SHM programs, resources and services that will help you advance your skills toward specialization in hospital medicine.
As the first and only society dedicated to supporting the needs of hospital medicine professionals, the Society of Hospital Medicine supports your educational and professional needs at all stages of your career to prepare you for leadership and advancing the practice of hospital medicine. When you join SHM during your residency training, you receive access to programs, resources and opportunities that will enhance your skills and raise your professional profile.
When I joined as a resident, it was a great way to get plugged in to the hospital medicine community and to figure out what people were doing beyond my own institution.
