Description: The Commonwealth Fund / Harvard
University Fellowship in Minority Health Policy is designed to prepare
physicians, particularly minority physicians, for leadership roles in
formulating and implementing public health policy and practice. The
Fellowship enables recent medical school graduates to gain additional
training that leads to a master's degree in public health. The Department
of Social Medicine supports this program by appointing the Fellows in
Social Medicine, including them in its seminars, and providing faculty
mentoring of individual fellows.
The Fellowship serves the following objectives: prepare minority physicians
for leadership positions in minority health policy; improve the capacity
of the health care system to address the needs of minority and disadvantaged
populations; create a network of minority physician leaders capable
of advancing in the public, nonprofit, and academic sectors; and enhance
Harvard's health leadership training.
Fifteen physicians have completed this training and five more are currently
in the program, which has funding to support a total of 25 fellows over
a five-year period.
