Job Posting: Primary Care Health Policy Fellow
The Department of Family Medicine at Georgetown University School of Medicine is currently seeking qualified applicants for its one-year fellowship in Primary Care Health Policy. This is a unique, full-time program that combines experiences in scholarly research, faculty development, and clinical practice. Fellows have the opportunity to interact with local and federal policymakers in Washington, D.C. and pursue original research projects with experienced mentors at the Robert Graham Center for Policy Studies in Family Medicine and Primary Care. They will join a dynamic group of faculty (including me) at one of the flagship departments for urban family medicine on the East Coast. Past Health Policy Fellows have gone on to hold leadership positions in federal health agencies, community health organizations, and academia. Applicants should be graduates of an accredited residency program in family medicine or expect to graduate in 2012. Please e-mail me at
[email protected] for additional information.
