Texas - Behavioral Fellowship at UTMB

We have two unfilled fellowship positions in Rural Family

Medicine/Obstetrics for 2001-2002 - both in Jasper, TX. Prior grads of that

fellowship have gotten 60+ C/sections and much complicated OB, in addition

to the "usual" rural FM work.

If anyone knows of potential applicants, please pass along this information.

Thanks,

Fellow faculty--

we have two new fellowships at Georgetown University starting July 1.

One is designed to develop future directors of community health centers, and is

based at a D.C. community health center and co-sponsored by the National

Association of Community Health Centers and the Association of Clinicians for

the Underserved.

The other is a health policy fellowship that includes experience in the AAFP

Robert Graham Center: Policy Studies in Family Practice and Primary Care.

Their descriptions are located below, and I'd especially appreciate hearing from

any graduating residents interested in either of these experiences.

thanks

Jay

THE GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY—UNITY HEALTH CARE

FELLOWSHIP IN HEALTH CENTER

DIRECTOR DEVELOPMENT

A number of family physicians pursue careers in community health care, and many

assume positions of leadership, often with little formal training or preparation

for their roles. This one-year fellowship is designed to train future physician

leaders in community health care, with a specific objective of training future

medical directors of community health centers. The fellowship is co-sponsored by

the Georgetown University Department of Family Medicine and Unity Health Care,

Inc, a non-profit group of community health centers in the District of

Columbia. In order to achieve national exposure and impact, we also collaborate

with NACHC and the Association of Clinicians for the Underserved. The fellow

will also provide community-oriented primary care in a medically underserved

community, and receive faculty development training, in preparation to be a role

model and future teacher of medical students, residents and other health

professionals. The fellow will receive a faculty appointment as an instructor

in the Department of Family Medicine of Georgetown University.

THE GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY FELLOWSHIP

IN PRIMARY CARE HEALTH POLICY

Washington D.C. offers unique advantages for the study of health policy at the

national level. In over twenty years of existence the Department of Family

Medicine of the Georgetown University School of Medicine has established ties

with many of the institutions in Washington of importance in primary care

policy. We are now offering a fellowship of one or two years for a family

practice residency graduate to study primary care health policy. The

centerpiece of the fellowship involves experiences with private health policy

foundations and government agencies with a focus on primary care; we are

fortunate to have a relationship with the Robert Graham Center: Policy Studies

in Primary Care and Family Practice of the American Academy of Family Physicians

as a major collaborator. In addition the fellow will gain experience in patient

care in a community health center, and in faculty development through

participation in a variety of activities of the department and through a

longitudinal curriculum for our fellows.
