Testimonials

Spark has helped me gain and solidify my medical knowledge. For this edition of Spark, there are so many wonderful, dedicated hospitalists and content experts who have been willing to put in a lot of work for peer coaching, peer education, and our hospitalist knowledge bases.

Haruka Torok, MD, SFHM

Spark has been helpful for me as I refresh on content that I don’t see every day with patients. I love that each question comes with an answer, explanation, and key takeaways.

Kim Tartaglia, MD, SFHM

Spark is an amazing resource to prepare yourself for the Focused Practice in Hospital Medicine exam. The questions are written and curated by hospitalists and focused on what the average hospitalist should know and needs to know to pass the exam. The thoughtful, amazing work included in Spark has been created by our own members at SHM. All the content reflects on clinical scenarios, questions, and how to apply the most up-to-date knowledge.
