The Commonwealth Fund Mongan Fellowship in Minority Health Policy is now accepting applications for the 2017–18 class. This unique fellowship prepares physicians for leadership roles in transforming health care delivery systems and promoting policies and practices that improve access to high-performance health care for vulnerable populations, including racial and ethnic minorities and economically disadvantaged groups.
Under the auspices of the Minority Faculty Development Program at Harvard Medical School, up to five one-year fellowships will be awarded annually. Fellows will complete academic work leading to a master of public health degree at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, or a master of public administration degree at the Harvard Kennedy School for physicians already possessing an M.P.H. Fellows will gain an understanding of major health issues facing vulnerable and disadvantaged populations through seminars, site visits, and other fellowship activities.
The application deadline for the 2017–2018 fellowship is December 1, 2016. To download the fellowship brochure and access electronic application materials, or to learn more about the fellowship, please visit our website.
