Program Overview
We are currently only accepting applications for the Maternal Child Health fellowship. All other fellowships are on hold until September 2009. We appreciate inquiries of interest from applicants who are Board Certified or Board Eligible Family Physicians and are eligible to obtain a New York State physician license. We anticipate funding beginning on July 1, 2010.
Rochester is the home of the biopsychosocial model. Incorporated into the heart of our fellowship training are the biopsychosocial model, family-focused and patient-centered approaches to healthcare, interdisciplinary work and learning-centered methods. Course work emphasizes evidence-based medicine, communication skills, development, teaching and learning, research, family systems medicine, motivational approaches to behavior change, quality improvement, reflective practice, and personal awareness.
We expect fellows to participate in research projects, give presentations at national meetings, and publish papers. Our program has attracted visiting scholars from around the world who have shared their knowledge and perspective with our students and learned from us.
