Description
The Harbor-UCLA Family Medicine Transforming Primary Care Fellowship is a unique program designed to develop leaders for the future of primary care. The fellowship provides both didactic and experiential learning in a supportive environment that fosters the professional growth of each fellow. The program is geared to the learning needs of recent residency graduates who may apply as full time fellows, as well as junior faculty who are eligible for a part time fellowship option. The full time fellow serves as team leader for an interdisciplinary Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH) Team in the residency practice, participates in the PCMH transformation of our inner city safety net clinic, and develops fellowship project of his or her own. Fellowship projects focus on some aspect of developing, implementing, or teaching new models of primary care and are closely mentored by fellowship faculty and consultants. Fellows spend 50% of their time precepting residents and providing patient care in one or more of our three ambulatory care sites which include a high school-based adolescent clinic. Two weeks of the year are spent as the junior attending on our inpatient service. Participation in OB coverage is preferred but negotiable. The remainder of the fellow’s time is spent in educational activities, clinical enrichment, and doing the fellow's own project. Educational activities include a weekly three hour fellowship seminar that covers core academic and teaching skills, leadership, and provides an evidence based approach to new models of primary care. The fellowship year is excellent preparation for residency graduates whose professional goals include teaching family medicine, fulfilling a leadership role in a primary care organization, and/or participating in or leading organizational transformation to new models of primary care.
