Description
The Society of Teachers of Family Medicine (STFM) runs this competitive, yearlong fellowship for family medicine faculty responsible for teaching or coordinating behavioral science and family systems curricula. A structured curriculum and formal mentoring help fellows understand medical culture, develop a professional learning plan, and integrate behavioral science and family systems principles into family medicine practice.
Fellows work with two experienced behavioral science educators and participate in a small mentored group that meets during conferences and by phone throughout the year. Each fellow plans, completes, and presents a mentored scholarly project at the second STFM Annual Spring Conference.
