Leadership Academy 2026

It takes place at JW Marriott Camelback Inn in Scottsdale, Arizona.

The stated audience includes emerging and experienced hospital medicine leaders, residents, chief residents, and fellows.

It is most useful for hospital medicine physicians moving into leadership, from novice and aspiring leaders to experienced ones, since the Society of Hospital Medicine runs it in small groups with expert facilitators and hands-on exercises. Residents, chief residents and fellows are also named as attendees, but clinicians who want clinical updates rather than management skills would get less from a four-day program centred on leading through crisis and change.

Physicians at leadership courses usually wear business casual, and a Scottsdale resort in October is warm, so lightweight clothing with a layer for air-conditioned rooms works.
