How about a stint as an AAFP staff fellow?
Want to see what it's like working from inside the Academy? Here's your chance!
The AAFP is offering one-year, full-time staff fellowships in family medicine research, medical education, public health advocacy and medical editing.
The positions are available to Academy members who are U.S. citizens or who have permanent resident status. Completion of a residency in family practice is a preferred qualification. All positions begin July 2001; the first three are based at AAFP headquarters in Leawood, Kan.
- The research fellow will work with Academy staff and external investigators involved in the research activities of the National Network for Family Practice and Primary Care Research.
- The candidate chosen to fill the medical education fellowship will develop and implement a project in the area of CME, residency education, student interest, student and resident leadership development, international family medicine, Advanced Life Support in Obstetrics or another area of family medicine education.
- The public health fellow will work alongside staff in the Scientific Activities Division and communicate with members of the Commission on Public Health to promote public health issues near and dear to Academy members. Examples include health/patient education, antiviolence strategies, prevention of substance abuse, breast-feeding advocacy, and adolescent and school health.
- The medical editing fellowship entails a full-time academic appointment to Georgetown University's Department of Family Medicine in Washington. This fellow will assist the medical editor of American Family Physician with manuscript acceptance, rejection, revision and editing. Clinical and faculty development opportunities will also be available.
Please note that only two of the three Leawood-based positions and the Washington position will be filled. Applicants should submit a letter of interest and a curriculum vita to Brenda Flagler, AAFP, 11400 Tomahawk Creek Parkway, Leawood, KS 66211. Applications will be accepted until March 1 or until the positions are filled.
