The CERA Fellowship is a yearlong, part-time professional development opportunity offered by the Society of Teachers of Family Medicine (STFM) for one family medicine faculty member annually. The fellowship is designed to foster the next generation of scholarly leaders in family medicine education through mentorship, research training, and hands-on experience with the CERA Steering Committee. Fellows gain expertise in research methodology, survey design, and scholarly leadership, and are expected to contribute to CERA activities, author presentations/publications, and mentor other faculty. The fellowship term aligns with the STFM Annual Spring Conference, beginning and ending at this event.
