The Commonwealth Fund supports training for physician leaders dedicated to creating high-performance health systems for vulnerable populations through the Mongan Commonwealth Fund Fellowship Program in Minority Health Policy. The fellowship is now accepting applicants for its 2014–15 class.
In a blog post, Commonwealth Fund vice president Pamela Riley, M.D, explains how the program works and what candidates can expect to learn and experience. At the heart of the fellowship is a one-year intensive academic program leading to a master of public health degree at the Harvard School of Public Health or, for individuals already possessing an M.P.H., a master of public administration degree at the Harvard Kennedy School.
