Overview

With over 60 chapters nationwide and 5 chapters internationally, SHM’s robust chapter program offers you many opportunities to connect with your hospital medicine community. All chapters located within the United States are grouped into 12 geographical districts and 4 regions (East, South, Midwest and West). Each district is represented by a District Chair who serves to report on local chapter businesses to the National Board of Directors.

Members are assigned to a chapter based on their geographical location. Join your local chapter to share knowledge, engage with colleagues and stay current on the latest clinical developments in hospital medicine.

Chapter Leaders

Interested in becoming a leader?

Chapter leaders serve the dual role of managing local interests and initiatives, while also representing the constituents of the national society. There are different levels of involvement you can pursue with your local chapter, all related to different activities to engage, recruit, and retain SHM members. Each fall, chapters with open leadership positions conduct a call for nominations to the SHM membership. Reach out to your local leadership or an SHM Staff member at any time for more information.

Call for nominations for open positions for the next term beginning April 2024 will be shared in the Fall of 2023.
