The One-on-One Mentoring Program is highly recommended! Connecting with a mentor can help you get the most out of the current meeting. This program can help provide you with a contact outside your own institution who can give you very useful career advice. Many long-time SGIM members are eager and willing to share their expertise with you!

Medical students, interns and residents are invited to learn about careers in general internal medicine. Panelists will share their experiences and answer audience questions in an informal setting to address questions such as:

• What is a general internist?
• Why should I consider general internal medicine as a “specialty”?
• How do you pursue careers in medical education, research, leadership or clinical medicine as a general internist? 
• Who does a general internal medicine fellowship?
• How do I achieve work-life balance in IM?

Interest Groups are another important mechanism for SGIM members with shared interests to begin and sustain cross-institution collaboration and exchange ideas. Previous fellows, residents, and students report they find these groups valuable.

Workshops identified with fellows, residents, and students as their target audience will be announced at a later date
