 The Society for Humanism in Medicine (SHIM) is an interdisciplinary group of healthcare professionals committed to nurturing various aspects of humanism in medicine. The Society meets annually to hear a series of seminars and discussions on a relevant theme in a provocative atmosphere that fosters intellectual and spiritual growth and good fellowship. The Society is a non-profit organization with an international membership. SHIM was previously known as The International Society for Advancement of Humanistic Studies in Medicine (ISFAHSIM). The name was changed in July, 2004.
