Our Goals
The goals of our fellowship program are to:
Prepare graduates to engage in teaching and research making contributions to the advancement of knowledge in our specialty, clinical or basic science, as a faculty member in an academic department.
Train practitioners who can serve as the leader of a quality assurance, quality improvement, or patient safety team in their practice setting.
Produce practitioners who will work to achieve health equity by mitigating disparities because they value the importance of diversity, inclusiveness and belonging in the workplace and recognize the challenges faced by diverse communities who lack access to care.
Develop socially well-adjusted fellows through a programmatic focus on physician well-being because emotionally healthy physicians will be more resilient and able to deliver the best care to our community.
