Apply for the Mongan Commonwealth Fund Fellowship Program in Minority Health Policy (formerly The Commonwealth Fund/Harvard University Fellowship in Minority Health Policy)
Achieving a high-performance health care system requires dedicated physician-leaders capable of transforming care delivery and promoting policies and practices that improve access to high-quality care for vulnerable populations, including racial and ethnic minorities and economically disadvantaged groups. Since 1996, the Mongan Commonwealth Fund Fellowship Program in Minority Health Policy has played an important role in developing such leaders.
Based at Harvard Medical School under the direction of Joan Reede, M.D., Dean for Diversity and Community Partnership, the year-long fellowship offers intensive study in health policy, public health, and management for physicians committed to transforming health care delivery systems for vulnerable populations. Under the program, fellows complete academic work leading to a master of public health degree at the Harvard School of Public Health, or a master of public administration degree at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government. Fellows also participate in leadership forums and seminars with nationally recognized leaders in health care delivery systems, minority health, and public policy.
