The Shapiro Institute for Education and Research at Harvard Medical School and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center is seeking applications for the academic year 2012-2013 Rabkin Fellowship in Medical Education. The Rabkin Fellowship in Medical Education was established in 1998 to provide faculty the opportunity to develop the expertise and skills needed to launch or advance academic careers in medical education. The Rabkin Fellowship is open to faculty who have a primary appointment at Harvard Medical School and who currently teach at HMS or at a Harvard-affiliated institution.
By participating in this fellowship, faculty will develop and enhance their skills as medical educators; conduct education research or undertake a project in an area of importance in medical education; learn the principles of effective leadership and develop the skills needed to create educational change; become members of a community of educators dedicated to excellence in teaching across the entire continuum of medical education.
The request for applications, application instructions and bio-sketches of former Rabkin Fellows can be found at www.bidmc.org/rabkinfellowship.
The deadline for receipt of applications is Friday, March 2 at 5:00 pm. Fellowship awards will be announced in April 2012.
