What is SHM?

The Society of Hospital Medicine (SHM) is a non-profit organization dedicated to not only benefiting its hospitalist members, but also the general field of hospital medicine. Having a membership to SHM provides opportunities in continuing education, possibilities for netwroking with other like-minded collegues, and access to conferences and academies based on leadership, subspecialties in hopsital medicine, and much more. SHM produces a monthly publication, the Hospitalist as well as a peer- reviewed journal, the Journal of Hospital Medicine, and its members exclusively recieve the Pulse, a bi-weekly e-newsletter that contains updates about our largest internal areas such as governance, events, mebership, and quality intitatives. SHM strives through these and other outlets to provide quality, current, and useful information to better educate and prepare hospitalists for the future of the field.
