Fellowships in the Department of Family & Community Medicine

The Department of Family and Community Medicine offers six post-residency fellowships for physicians seeking advanced training beyond core family medicine education. Two are ACGME-accredited, with fellows appointed through the graduate medical education office; four are non-standard fellowships in which fellows join as entry-level faculty instructors, reflecting practice areas where formal accreditation structures do not yet exist. Across both tracks, fellows receive structured clinical training, dedicated mentorship, and protected time for teaching, research, and quality improvement work. The department's mission is to prepare physicians for practice in populations and settings that are often under-resourced in traditional training pathways, while building the academic skills needed for long-term careers in education, research, and health systems leadership.
