Description
The University of Wisconsin Department of Family Medicine and Community Health’s Academic Fellowship is a one-year program for family physicians seeking to strengthen their teaching, clinical, scholarly, and leadership skills. Educational and professional experiences are tailored to fellows’ interests and career goals, combining patient care with resident precepting, medical student instruction, and mentored inpatient teaching.
The scholarly component centers on designing and implementing a presentable, publishable project with guidance from a mentor committee. Projects may address clinical or educational research questions, curriculum design or evaluation, or innovative teaching methods. Monthly meetings support educational planning and progress, while fellowship seminars and adult learning courses develop teaching and scholarly skills. Fellows can also pursue community advocacy, health policy activities, and leadership through academic and physician organizations.
