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 join SHM. As a student member, you’ll receive access to many SHM programs, resources, and services that will support your current academic endeavors and prepare you for a future in hospital medicine.
If you are considering a career in hospital medicine, an SHM student membership can provide you with resources, mentors, and research opportunities to provide clarity as you plan your next steps. From guidance on residency programs to exposure to clinical research through our educational grants, SHM’s student membership is designed to enhance your educational experience and prepare you for a future in hospital medicine. Here are some of the resources and member benefits you can enjoy as a student member.
SHM’s Special Interest Groups allow members to connect and collaborate with colleagues and peers with shared interests and experiences in person and in the online discussion forum, the Hospital Medicine Exchange (HMX). Our Resident and Student Special Interest Group connects students to each other and to members who can share their own experiences about this critical learning experience.
Your SHM membership includes membership in your local SHM chapter. Attending local chapter events allows you to expand your network, learn and collaborate with other students as well as seasoned hospital medicine professionals. With over 60 chapters nationwide and counting, SHM offers an array of opportunities to connect with your local hospital medicine community, including special events for residents. Find Your Local Chapter.
SHM Converge offers an Early Career Hospitalist track to support the education and content needs of members who are entering the specialty.
Student members receive online access to the full archive of SHM’s official monthly publications, the peer-reviewed Journal of Hospital Medicine and news magazine The Hospitalist.
Student memberships are intended for individuals enrolled in accredited medical programs and require proof of enrollment to be uploaded. Because those credentials must be checked by SHM staff, student memberships are not active for 1-2 business days. More questions?
