Academic Fellowship

The Academic Fellowship is a 12-month clinical fellowship offered internally to a graduating Family Medicine resident who has demonstrated interest in academic Family Medicine. The fellow will coordinate the residency didactic curriculum, working closely with residents and guest lecturers, and serve as Core Faculty for the residency program. The fellow will learn medical student, resident, and inpatient attending skills. They will have the opportunity to participate in the University of Michigan's Medical Education Scholars Program (MESP), offering a formal curriculum of guided study in academic medicine with a cohort of emerging leaders in medical education across Michigan Medicine. The fellowship curriculum is flexible and individualized based upon the interests and goals of the fellow, with built in mentorship. 

The Academic Fellowship is for internal candidates of the University of Michigan Family Medicine Residency Program. The fellowship runs on an academic calendar, July through June.
