Purpose of the Fellowship

The Commonwealth Fund Fellowship in Minority Health Policy at Harvard University is designed to prepare physician-leaders who will, over time, improve the capacity of the health care system to promote policies and practices that improve historically marginalized populations’ access to high quality care.

We seek applications from individuals who are highly motivated and have great leadership potential of becoming a change agent in health care delivery systems for historically marginalized populations.

 

Eligibility

  • Experience or interest in addressing and improving the health needs of historically marginalized populations as well as in advancing system change in ways that improve the health for all populations, but with particular emphasis on historically marginalized populations.
  • Strong evidence of leadership experience or potential, especially as related to community efforts, quality improvement, transformation of health care delivery systems, and/or health policy.
  • Intention to pursue a career in policy, public service, and/or academia.
