Welcome to the AAP SOHM website. The SOHM is one of the most actively growing sections of the AAP, and it is the home for Pediatric Hospitalists. The discussions on our listserv® attest to the growth of our section and the new "specialty" of Pediatric Hospital Medicine. Our members daily network through our listserv® and our hospitalist-specific CME activities. Many of us are facing the same challenges and trying to find answers to the same questions. Some of these are clinical, some are administrative and some speak to the basic problems facing hospitalist medicine.
We are all looking for evidence-based indicators to help us clinically, to define and prove our value to hospital systems and to help us establish and maintain healthy, sustainable pediatric hospital medicine programs. The important work of the Section will help provide answers. Active membership in the SOHM is rewarding both personally and professionally. I encourage all Pediatric Hospitalists to join.
