Description
This fellowship, established by the New York Academy of Medicine, aims to reinvigorate the patient-physician relationship by supporting early-career faculty in internal medicine to develop, implement, and evaluate innovative educational programs. These programs should focus on enhancing the core elements of the clinical transaction—patient history-taking, physical examination, and clinical reasoning. The fellowship addresses the decline of these skills in medical education and promotes evidence-based teaching, adaptation to new healthcare challenges (such as telehealth), and the integration of social determinants of health. The ultimate goal is to create lasting improvements in clinical education and patient care within awardees' institutions.
