Description
The Society of Teachers of Family Medicine’s CERA Fellowship provides one family medicine faculty member a yearlong, part-time experience with the CERA Steering Committee. Through mentorship and training, the fellow develops skills in valid survey methodology, hypothesis-driven survey questions, and the CERA survey process, laying the groundwork for future scholarly leadership in family medicine.
The experience combines committee participation with practical research and mentoring responsibilities. Fellows learn to produce presentations and publications using CERA data and to mentor other faculty in proposal writing and research methodology. Working alongside an established mentor, the fellow guides a research group, contributes to proposal and paper scoring, and develops a proposal responding to a CERA call.
