Description
Our TMB sponsored Community Medicine Fellowship at UT Southwestern Medical Center, educates primary care physicians in effectively using principles of public health, epidemiology, and preventive medicine in new and innovative ways. Participants in this one or two-year fellowship actively contribute to the community through culturally competent approaches. These approaches include, caring for patients at safety-net clinics, teaching and mentoring medical students and residents in community health and community based research, evaluating health needs of different populations, and working with community partners to identify and implement interventions for community health needs. The program prepares fellows to become clinical and community leaders, educators, and health equity champions. Fellows care for underserved patients while working with community health partners to address healthcare disparities, access and outcomes. The length of the fellowship is dependent on whether the fellow already has their MPH. The 1-year program is designed for the fellow that already has their MPH, and the 2-year program is designed so the fellow will obtain their MPH at the end of the 2-year program.
