Comments:
This Medical Education Faculty Development Fellowship in Family Medicine is among the first in the United States to offer a Masters in Medical Education (MME) degree as well as supported linical and classroom teach experience and further development of family medicine clinical expertise. The purpose of this fellowship is to develop and train family physicians early in their career to fill positions of academic medicine leadership. This will be accomplished by providing them with a rigorous background in medical education theory. Fellows will also have opportunities for developing and exploring their research interests. These activities will be carried out within a supported and mentored context to facilitate their overall leadership skills.
