With the completion of Capstone, participants are eligible to earn a Certificate of Leadership in Hospital Medicine (CLHM) designation.

Please note, participants must have attended at least one previous Leadership Academy course to participate in the Capstone program.

Program Outline

Two-Day In-Person Course

The Leadership Capstone program is recommended for hospitalists with three or more years of experience, who are already leading or preparing to lead an academic, business, or clinical change initiative at their institution. The course incorporates new didactic content and facilitated workshops.

Participants will have the opportunity to practice skills through role-playing, improve their personal and professional plans and will leave the two-day course with an assigned “learning pod” – a group of peers plus a coach – to continue learning for six months following the program.

Certificate of Leadership in Hospital Medicine

The Certificate of Leadership in Hospital Medicine (CLHM) cultivates leadership skills in the context of specific hospital medicine challenges. Participants develop a professional portfolio that showcases their ability to plan, execute, and evaluate initiatives that strengthen hospital medicine programs. This designation informs employers – or potential employers – with confidence that a candidate is equipped and ready to lead teams and grow the organization.

To become eligible for the optional CLHM designation, Leadership Capstone participants must:

  • Attend the on-site kick-off plus at least four of six pod calls during the Capstone program.
  • Complete at least two additional SHM Leadership Academy courses.
  • Submit a structured final report, to be approved by the course director.

Once you have completed your coursework, there is no additional fee to submit your CLHM Final Report and apply for the designation.
