A Message from the President
SGIM has been my professional home since I joined the Emory faculty over two decades ago. SGIM has provided countless opportunities for professional growth, collaboration, mentorship, advocacy, and engagement throughout my career. I am honored to serve as SGIM President, representing and supporting our members and working to ensure that SGIM continues to serve as an important and effective voice for our core values as academic general internists.
