The Commonwealth Fund Fellowship in Minority Health Policy
The Commonwealth Fund Fellowship in Minority Health Policy at Harvard University since 1996 preparing tomorrow's leaders in health
Purpose:
Established in 1996, and supported by The Commonwealth Fund, the Commonwealth Fund Fellowship in Minority Health Policy at Harvard University is a unique fellowship designed to prepare physician-leaders, particularly physicians from groups underrepresented in medicine, to become leaders who improve the health of disadvantaged and vulnerable populations through transforming health care delivery systems and promoting innovation in policies, practices and programs that address health equity and the social determinants of health. The program provides strong academic training and coursework, including an MPH or MPA, for highly qualified physicians, and enhances the leadership ability of physicians, offering them substantive knowledge in health policy and management, while creating a network of physician-leaders capable of advancing successfully among the public, nonprofit, and academic sectors.
We seek applications from individuals who are highly motivated and have great leadership potential of becoming a change agent in health care delivery systems for vulnerable populations.
Total Awards:
Up to five one-year, degree-granting fellowships will be awarded per year. Each Fellowship provides: $60,000 one-year stipend, full tuition, health insurance, books, fellowship travel, including financial assistance for a practicum project.
Eligibility and Selection Criteria:
- Physicians who have completed residency in the U.S., either BE/BC. Additional experience beyond residency, such as chief residency, is preferred.
