Each fellow’s plans and needs for the individualized curriculum will be developed with a faculty mentor, which will be part of the development of each fellow’s individualized learning plan. Each faculty mentor will guide and evaluate each fellow alongside the program director(s). We have developed some foundational goals and objectives for the clinical and non-clinical experiences, with an opportunity for modification and revision based on an individual fellow’s goals and interests.
