 Family Medicine Faculty Development Fellowship |
| |
| |
The Faculty Development Fellowship Program began in 1982 at UPMC St. Margaret and is now an integral part of the Department. Supported by UPMC St. Margaret, together with Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) federal grant support since 1992, the program has graduated over 50 fellows, more than any other full-time fellowship in the country.
The objectives of the Clinical Researcher Fellowship reflect the mission within the Department of Family Medicine and the expertise of the faculty: reducing disparities in clinical delivery and improving quality and access to health care for patients in primary care community-based settings. Fellows will benefit from the supportive research environment within the Center for Primary Care Community-Based Research housed in the Department of Family Medicine, including multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research teams and a well-developed infrastructure. Clinical Researcher Fellows will receive comprehensive training in the methodology of community-based research through coursework for a Masters of Public Health or Masters of Clinical Research degree as well as complete a mentored research project. |
