For years, SHM’s Leadership Academy courses have been selling out. To meet and exceed the demand and expectations of attendees, SHM is rolling out a new structure designed to provide more opportunities for those who seek to advance their careers and expand their leadership skills.

SHM provides recommendations for interested registrants to allow them to determine which course fits them best in their leadership journey.
The 2017 Leadership Academy will be held October 23–26, 2017, at the JW Marriott Scottsdale Camelback Inn Resort & Spa in Arizona. The revised course structure includes:
Strategic Essentials

Attendees are grouped at tables of 10, each with a skilled facilitator to ensure meaningful, relevant application of concepts to hands-on activities.
The Strategic Essentials course is recommended for residents, early-career hospitalists, first-time hospitalist leaders, and hospitalist leaders wishing to strengthen their leadership skills set and advance their careers.
