HM11 Right Around the Corner
Hospital Medicine 2011, or HM11, the premier event for healthcare professionals who specialize in hospital medicine, is just months away, and includes the specialty’s best opportunities for education, networking, and career advancement.
HM11 will present the future of HM in an authentic Lone Star State setting—the Gaylord Texan Hotel and Convention Center in Grapevine, Texas, May 10-13. The official kickoff to HM11 will be Wednesday morning; educational pre-courses will be offered Tuesday.
In addition to dozens of sessions from the best in the specialty on issues like clinical practice, practice management, new academic research, and quality initiatives, SHM again will present pre-courses specifically designed for in-depth education.
New pre-courses in 2011 include:
- Advanced Interactive Critical Care;
- Portable Ultrasound for the Hospitalist;
- Perioperative Medicine for the Hospitalist; and
- Succeeding in Challenging Times: Advances in Hospital Practice Management.
The continued growth of SHM’s annual conference also means new opportunities for exhibitors and sponsors to reach thousands of the most influential individuals in modern healthcare. Materials for both exhibitors and sponsors are available at the HM11 website.
Discounted early registration is available through April 3. For details and updates, visit www.hospitalmedicine2011.org.
