The purpose of the on-line fellowship is to guide learners in the development, implementation, evaluation, and submission of a DEI-related educational project to MedEdPORTAL for publication consideration. The fellowship will primarily focus on content related to Indigenous health, Hispanic health (including medical Spanish), anti-racism work, border and migrant health, sexual and gender minority health, and gender discrimination. Fellows will be advised by EM faculty and residents and will network with the entire department.
Who should apply?
EM bound medical students from across the country. This is a rolling application process.
What is the application deadline?
The application process is rolling. However, the program is capped to five students.
Is there a stipend?
Fellows who successfully submit their project to MedEdPORTAL will be compensated with a $2,000 stipend.
What is the time commitment?
The time commitment is variable and depends on the type of educational project undertaken (e.g. simulation, workshop, etc.) Learners are encouraged to set aside at least one initial month of elective time AND approximately 10 hours a month for five additional months to ensure successful completion of the MedEdPORTAL submission.
