The Mary O’Flaherty Horn Scholars in General Internal Medicine Program is a two-year career development award administered by the Society of General Internal Medicine (SGIM). Supported by the SGIM Horn Scholars Endowment and matching institutional support, it gives junior clinician-educators flexible scheduling and protected time for meaningful scholarly activities while balancing academic careers with dependent care, self-care, and wellness.
The program covers general medicine, including primary care, geriatrics, and hospital medicine. It favors scholarly work or advocacy at the local or national level focused on provider engagement and wellness or social responsibility in healthcare. Mentoring supports both academic development and a balanced lifestyle, and scholars share their work locally, regionally, and nationally where appropriate to promote the program’s vision and goals.
