Rabkin Medical Education Fellowship
Advancing Careers in Medical Education
The Rabkin Fellowship in Medical Education provides faculty with an opportunity to develop the expertise and skills needed to launch or advance academic administration. It involves participation in weekly, 2-hour seminars over the academic year hosted by fellowship directors, faculty and invited experts in medical education.
The Rabkin Fellowship was established in 1998 to provide Harvard Medical School faculty the opportunity to continue their education and professional development. Through the fellowship, faculty are able to develop necessary skills to launch or advance academic careers in medical education and/or academic leadership as a clinician-educator. The program is well suited for physicians whose careers include, or will include, a substantial amount of teaching.
Individuals participating in the Rabkin Fellowship will:
- Develop and enhance their skills as medical educators
- Conduct education research or undertake an educational project in an area of importance of medical education, including UME, GME and CME/faculty development
- Learn the principles of effective academic leadership and develop the skills needed to create educational change
- Become members of a community of educators dedicated to excellence in teaching environments across the continuum of medical education
The Fellowship is open to all faculty with a primary appointment at Harvard Medical School and who currently teach at Harvard Medical School or a Harvard-affiliated institution.
