This one year fellowship provides instruction in the teaching, administration and management skills needed to become an academic leader in family medicine. Faculty fellows are recruited from a national candidate pool of recent graduates of a family medicine residency. Fellows work with a team of mentors to design a customized learning program to fit their future career needs. All fellows in the department participate in the Fellowship Shared Curriculum which provides a collaborative peer learning environment to gain additional skills. Learning sessions are taught and facilitated by experienced senior faculty and outside speakers. A longitudinal project management series assists the fellows in all aspects of a curriculum, quality improvement, or scholarly project in their chosen area of study.
