MED ED FELLOWSHIPS
why:
offers a direct pathway to working with medical students, residents and faculty. Additionally you get some admin experience in the sense of what’s needed to design curriculums and run a program. Additionally although it isn’t absolutely necessary it can expedite your pathway to program leadership.
What can I do during residency:
Luckily we have med students around almost all the time, whether they prefer it that way or not. A great way to start is to get involved with teaching them. Additionally, giving talks and mentorship can help show your interest.
