Fellowship in Hospital Medicine

The Society of Hospital Medicine (SHM) admits to its Fellows those hospitalists whose professional activity is devoted to hospital medicine and whose personal and professional activities embody both the mission and goals of the Society and the principles and responsibilities of medical professionalism. Becoming a Fellow is an avenue for special recognition of Society members who have distinguished themselves among their colleagues, and in their communities by:

• Professional development through the practice of hospital medicine
• Lifelong learning and medical education
• Dedication to quality and process improvement
• Commitment to organizational teamwork and leadership

The advancement to Fellow is a tiered process consisting of 3 categories of membership (Fellow, Senior Fellow, and Master).
