The Education arm of SGIM is comprised of the Education Committee and various other task forces and work groups that help develop new material geared toward training goals in the field of general internal medicine. It is also the central repository for information on curricula and educational resources for clinician educators.
The Education Committee aims to identify and respond to the needs of clinician educators at all levels of their careers by providing forums for them to present their work, receive or provide mentorship, create and disseminate educational resources, serve as the voice for SGIM on national educational issues, and support the development of excellence in teaching, curriculum development and evaluation, and educational scholarship in GIM. We further hope to create opportunities to promote junior educators within their institutions and SGIM and increase senior educators’ involvement in SGIM.
