Description
The National Academy of Medicine (NAM) administers this two-year fellowship for early-career health science scholars from Wisconsin. Established in 2022 with funding from the Advancing a Healthier Wisconsin Endowment at the Medical College of Wisconsin, it offers participation in evidence-based health care and public health studies to improve patient care and access in domestic and global health systems.
Fellows remain at their primary academic and research posts while working with a National Academies board and an appropriate study committee or roundtable, contributing to reports or other products. The experience explores the integration of medicine and public health, connects fellows with scientific and policy leaders, and provides mentorship from an NAM member. Selection preferences emphasize Wisconsin community health, health equity, rural health, and policy or systems change.
