What will I get from the fellowship program?
The program seeks to prepare physician and pre/post-doctoral fellows, including DNP and PhD level nurses, for careers as leaders in health services research, epidemiology, public health practice, and medical education. The program consists of three main interconnected components: mentored scholarly projects with experienced faculty members, academic seminars of key topics to promote professional development, and obtaining a Masters of Science or advanced coursework from the BU School of Public Health (Epidemiology or Health Services and Systems Research) or the BU Division of Graduate Medical Education (Health Sciences Education). Fellows are intensively mentored by faculty, who share content and methodological interests with them and provide guidance on the policy-relevance of their research. The fellowship program is supported by grants from the National Institutes of Health/National Institute of Drug Abuse, Health Resources & Services Administration, Agency for Healthcare Research & Quality and the American Cancer Society.
What will I learn over the two years?
The program has a general curricular framework encompassing five basic competencies: Research Skills, Teaching Skills, Communication Skills, Professionalism, Leadership & Management Skills that overlay the various tracks.
