Philadelphia, October 19, 2018 -- The Society of General Internal Medicine (SGIM) and the American College of Physicians (91黑料网) are pleased to announce the 20 funded institutions for this year鈥檚 ProudtobeGIM grant cycle.
The ProudtobeGIM campaign was launched in 2015 by the Society of General Internal Medicine to expose medical students and residents to career opportunities in general internal medicine (SGIM). The aim of the program is to inform students of the variety of amazing career options in general internal medicine (GIM) and the multitude of opportunities to be a leader in patient care, research, health policy, and medical education. The campaign鈥檚 website (proudtobegim.org) features GIM career resources for students and medical educators, including multiple videos, podcasts, and information on mentoring programs. Since 2015, SGIM has proudly funded 40 medical institutions from across the US to host local events and educate young students and physicians about careers in general internal medicine.
