We are currently accepting applications for Fellowships to begin in July 2013, with a deadline of March 1, 2012.

The Harvard Medical School Fellowship in General Medicine and Primary Care offers 2-year academic fellowships to prepare talented physicians for careers in academic medicine. Since the program began in 1979, we have trained over 200 fellows, who now work in prestigious institutions nationally and internationally.

Program Goals

	To provide Fellows with a solid background in clinical research methods and statistical analysis through the completion of a Masters in Public Health degree at the Harvard School of Public Health.
	To teach Fellows the essentials of performing research in general internal medicine through collaboration with faculty members. With the help of a mentor, Fellows will take one or more research ideas from conception to publication in a peer-reviewed journal.
	To prepare Fellows to become confident teachers and public speakers. During our Program, each Fellow participates in conferences and retreats to enhance their teaching strategies and presentation skills. Fellows are expected to present their research at regional and national academic meetings.
	To ensure that our graduates are prepared for successful careers as clinician-investigators. More than 90% of our graduates have received an academic appointment following their fellowships.
