What to Expect
You can expect to join an interactive learning environment with didactics, small-group exercises, and skill-building breakout sessions, and full days of learning facilitated by leading clinician-educators, hospitalist-researchers and clinical administrators in a 1-to-10 faculty-to-student ratio.
Meals during the meeting are included in the registration fee and provide additional networking opportunities for building networks with faculty and colleagues alike. Tuition for this four-day, learning-intensive program is $2,250.
