Association of Chiefs & Leaders of General Internal Medicine (ACLGIM)

Alexandria, Virginia, United States of America

Founded as the Association of Chiefs in General Internal Medicine (ACGIM) in 2000, ACLGIM began as a direct result of the Society of General Internal Medicine's (SGIM) desire to address the increasing complexity faced by primary care physicians, educators, hospitalists and researchers as they took on additional responsibility within their organizations. This desire manifested itself in the form of SGIM steering committee in 2000 which in turn created the subgroup organizations ACGIM. This new organization identified and pursued the following four goals:

• Provide professional development through leadership and management training;
• Provide forums in which to exchange information;
• Provide personal development and networking for Chiefs and leaders;
• Influence and educate institutional leaders about issues relevant to academic GIM
