Description
The Society of Teachers of Family Medicine (STFM) runs this yearlong fellowship for early- and mid-career faculty seeking to develop scholarly writing skills, advance academically, and build leadership capacity. Scholar-led virtual meetings, in-person workshops, and faculty and peer mentorship develop skills in researching questions, analyzing data, assessing literature, and writing, presenting, and publishing scholarly work.
Early-career fellows develop a personalized leadership and career roadmap, identify scholarship opportunities, publish a small-group letter to the editor, and submit at least one mentored manuscript. Mid-career fellows receive individualized mentorship, detailed CV review for promotion, and help moving stalled scholarship projects forward. Recognizing and addressing the minority tax is a central theme. STFM Foundation support helps strengthen the diversity of scholarly voices and topics in academic family medicine.
