Faculty Development

A two-year program established to address the need for under-represented minority faculty in academic medicine. The goal is to increase the number of new, tenure-track Hispanic junior faculty through strategic professional development. This fellowship provides physicians with future opportunities in administrative, academic instruction and research, while maintaining their clinical practice. Mentorship, enhancement of teaching, grant writing and development of portfolios, are a few of the objectives in the fellowship. Residents in their second and third year, individuals in post-doctoral training or PhD, science graduates are encouraged to apply.
