The Commonwealth Fund Fellowship in Minority Health Policy at Harvard: Support for Program Direction and Fellowships, 20

This project will support at least six fellows for 2019–20, including one fellow in oral health and one Cambridge Health Alliance emergency medicine health policy fellow. In addition to existing program elements, program enhancements include: 1) “biopsy of the system” — a one‐week deep dive into a health care delivery system; 2) “nuts and bolts” — fellows spend a half‐day per week over several months with an executive leader in a Harvard Medical School–affiliated hospital; 3) a prefellowship policy boot camp with representatives from health policy organizations in Massachusetts; 4) new categories of mentors, including subspecialty advisors and Leaders of Color coaches; 5) training sessions offered through the Massachusetts General Hospital Health Policy and Management Fellowship; and 6) “case series” to address multifaceted topics like mobilizing multiple sectors on a problem, creating change in complex systems, and innovation and next‐generation problem-solving.
