Primarily designed for mid-career academic hospitalists. After 4-8 years of practice, many academic hospitalists have developed specific interests in areas of administration, education, research, or quality improvement. This program aims to meet the needs of academic hospitalists with these more specific interests, and will address topics that all mid-career academics should be knowledgeable about (for example, project planning and understanding financial drivers of academic medical centers).

Upon completion of this educational activity:

• Participants will become more effective teachers, and will possess stronger knowledge in quality improvement and patient safety.
• Participants will establish effective participation in mentor-mentee relationships.
• Participants will succeed in producing and disseminating scholarly work.
• Participants will become assets to their academic institutions, with awareness of the basics of promotion and an understanding of business drivers of healthcare, and will advance their careers in a pathway of success in academic hospital medicine.
