Overview
The Commonwealth Fund/Harvard University Fellowship in Minority Health Policy is a one-year, full-time, academic degree-granting program designed to create physician-leaders who will pursue careers in health policy, public health practice, and academia. It is designed to incorporate the critical skills taught in schools of public health, government, business, and medicine with leadership forums and seminar series conducted by Harvard senior faculty and nationally recognized leaders in minority health and public policy; supervised practicums and shadowing opportunities; site visits; conferences; and travel.
Stipend
Each fellowship provides: $50,000 stipend, full tuition, health insurance, books, travel, and related program expenses, including financial assistance for a practicum project. CFHUF is designed to prepare physician-leaders who will, over time, improve the capacity of the health care system to promote policies and practices that improve minority, disadvantaged and vulnerable populations’ access to highquality care. To accomplish this, the program will:
• Provide strong academic training, including an MPH or MPA, for highly qualified physicians.
• Enhance 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.
• Provide each fellow with mentoring by Harvard senior faculty and administrators as well as access to national leaders in health policy and public health practice.
• Bring together the faculty and resources of HMS, HSPH, and HKS to provide an enhanced curriculum addressing issues of public health, health policy and practice, and quality improvement, particularly as they relate to minority health issues.
• Utilize resources at HMS, including the Office for Diversity and Community Partnership (DCP) and MFDP, to enhance the networking, career development, and career advancement of fellows.
• Link to program activities co-sponsored with the HSPH Division of Policy Translation and Leadership Development.
Eligibility
• Physicians who have completed residency, either BE/BC in the U.S. Additional experience beyond residency, such as chief residency, is preferred.
• Experience or interest in addressing and improving the health needs of minority, disadvantaged and vulnerable populations.
• Strong evidence of leadership experience or potential, especially as related to community efforts, quality improvement, and/or health policy.
• Intention to pursue a career in policy, public health practice, or academia.
• U.S. citizenship.
