In 2017, ACLGIM reaffirmed its core community to include academic general internist leaders and emerging leaders in scholarship, research, education, patient care, administration, policy, and innovation. Leaders are those who are responsible for overseeing other individuals, teams or entire organizations engaged in one or more of these areas.
No matter your current leadership position within your organization, ACLGIM will provide you with the necessary networks, tools and opportunities to be successful. Members gain access to peer community of academic leaders in GIM, allowing you to develop your own career and to find support during the challenging times of leadership.
