Membership in the CSHM

At this time Canadian members of the SHM are concurrently members of the CSHM.  The executive of the CSHM believe that Canadian Hospitalists can benefit from the substantial resources and expertise available to members of the US based SHM.  We encourage Canadian physicians to become members of this well established organization.   A portion of Canadian physician’s SHM dues are allocated to the CSHM to support Canadian specific initiatives.    

Starting in 2012 the CSHM is going to offer membership both as a joint membership with the SHM OR as a stand alone membership with the CSHM only.  For those who wish joint membership, Canadian members of the SHM will be requested to pay a $25 CSHM chapter fee when registering for SHM membership.  If you prefer to have CSHM membership only we will have a direct sign up on this web site.  Both of these options should be available by the end of March 2012.
