Purpose of the Fellowship

The Commonwealth Fund Fellowship in Minority Health Policy at Harvard University is designed to prepare physician-leaders who will, over time, improve the capacity of the health care system to promote policies and practices that improve historically marginalized populations’ access to high quality care.

We seek applications from highly motivated individuals with great potential for leadership and for becoming change agents in health care delivery systems for historically marginalized populations.

 


Eligibility

  • Physicians who have completed residency in the U.S., either BE/BC. Additional experience beyond residency, such as chief residency, is preferred.
  • Experience or interest in advancing systems change to improve the health of all populations as well as the health of historically marginalized populations in particular.
  • Strong evidence of leadership experience or potential, especially as related to community efforts, quality improvement, transformation of health care delivery systems, and/or health policy.
  • Intention to pursue a career in policy, public service, and/or academia.
  • U.S. citizenship or U.S. permanent residency.
