Society of Hospital Medicine Builds Awareness of HM Career Benefits
This year, the grant program’s first, three students are participating in summer research on topics that include post-hospital syndrome and physiologic alarm responses. You can follow their progress on the SHM blog. Eventually, we expect the program to grow to 10 grantees every summer.
Awareness Is Key
We hope efforts like these will help raise awareness and interest in hospital medicine and SHM among medical students and young physicians. Although our field is relatively young, it’s full of opportunities for building a rewarding, lasting career.
Hospital medicine is so much more than a medical pit stop. As we know at SHM, it’s a specialty in which young physicians can launch and build a sustainable career.
If you are a career hospitalist, I ask you to help spread the word. And, if you are a student contemplating your future, I invite you to visit us and learn more. I know you will not be disappointed.
