The goal of the U-M Disability Health Fellowship at the University of Michigan is to create clinical leaders, educators, and advocates to improve the health and healthcare of individuals with disabilities.
The Disability Health Fellowship is a 12-month clinical fellowship that provides fellows the opportunity to improve their clinical skills by caring for patients with physical, intellectual, or developmental disabilities, while learning about disability-relevant policy, teaching medical students and residents, engaging with the community, and doing research to advance the field.
The fellowship utilizes strong partnerships with U-M Family Medicine’s MDisability Program and Michigan Medicine’s Center for Disability Health and Wellness.
The application window is open on September 1 - October 31. Interviews will be held in November and December. Outside of the fellowship program, we are unable to offer rotations or preceptorships to individuals from outside of the University of Michigan at this time.
The fellowship year runs from July through June.
