The Academic Hospitalist Academy (AHA), offered by the Society of General Internal Medicine (SGIM), provides academic hospitalists with the essential educational, scholarly, and professional development skills they need to thrive in their careers. Attendees participate in an interactive learning experience that includes didactic sessions, small-group exercises, and skill-building breakouts led by distinguished clinician-educators, hospitalist-researchers, and clinical administrators.
AHA Attendee Testimonial
"Attending the Academic Hospitalist Academy was one of the best investments I've made in my academic career. I came away with far more than practical skills—I found mentors, collaborators, and friends whom I expect will remain important parts of my professional life for years to come.
The impact has been tangible. Since AHA, I've published a Journal of Hospital Medicine Perspectives article with co-authors I met through the program, had a clinical vignette accepted for publication in Annals Clinical Cases, and launched several additional scholarly projects that are still underway.
Looking back, AHA was the catalyst. It gave me the community, confidence, and momentum to turn ideas into scholarship."
