Testimonials
" I have had several successes in the academic realm that I believe I owe in large part to some of the things I learned at the Academy. Specifically, I have had an abstract accepted for a poster at SHM, won a grant for a new medical student curriculum, delivered an extremely well-received grand rounds presentation, and have secured 20% protected time for medical education pursuits."
"The Academic Hospitalist Academy is an enormous value for academic hospitalists, as well as their division chiefs and hospital administrators. It empowers junior faculty to see the road to professional advancement and meaningful organizational contribution."
"I came away energized and motivated to jump right into my scholarly work, as well as to make some important improvements in my teaching. The Academy faculty were universally excellent, and the structure and content of the entire conference was superb."
"What really set this conference apart for me was the small size and faculty—what commitment and enthusiasm! Thank you for giving me very specific tools/advice to improve my teaching."
"I found the Academy enormously helpful in setting goals for myself, including some that hadn't even occurred to me previously."
"What I initially thought was a little bit pricey turned out to be an absolute bargain! All the faculty should be commended again for their efforts."
"It completely changed my perspective towards my career and I returned home quite energized and focused."
"I was able to work on and submit a clinical vignette to SHM. I am getting ready with my second one for SGIM. Recently, I was invited to present on quality and safety issues in healthcare at a county-level meeting."
"First of all, a big 'thank you' for organizing/directing a wonderful Academy! I can't say enough good things about it—I learned so much, and I'm excited to put my learning to use and disseminate it to others in my group."
"As a 'recovering private-practice' hospitalist, the conference helped me clarify how I can optimally fit within the academic triangle of clinical care, education, and research."
"You will be happy to know that—as promised—I incorporated many of my commitments into everyday life. I feel like a changed man after your academy."
"Since returning from Atlanta I have been emailing and been emailed by a number of participants from the Academy regarding future projects and getting together at future national meetings. … thank you and the faculty and staff who made this Academy not only a reality but a great experience."
