On Tuesday, October 22nd from 12:30 pm - 1:00 pm (ET),
NYAM will be hosting a webinar regarding the Barondess Fellowship. The session
will include an introduction of the Barondess Fellowship and a description of
the application process.

The New York Academy of Medicine, in collaboration with
the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME), has
officially announced the call for applications for the 2024-2026 Jeremiah A.
Barondess Fellowship in the Clinical Transaction: Reinvigorating the
Patient-Physician Relationship in September.

The overall goal is to enhance the ability of young
physicians to conduct the essential elements of the clinical transaction, such
as taking the patient’s history, conducting the physical examination, and the
application of clinical reasoning, capabilities required for effective clinical
care. The program invites early-career (junior) faculty members in internal
medicine with a university appointment to develop, implement, and evaluate
innovative programs that enhance these fundamental elements of clinical care
through educational innovation.

Anticipated funding: $50,000 ($25,000 per year for two
years).

Eligibility

Applications are invited from a medical school,
department of medicine, and medical school-affiliated teaching hospitals with
an approved internal medicine residency program in the United States.
Candidates should have exemplary clinical skills and a commitment to innovative
teaching and training focused on the development of excellence in the
fundamental elements of clinical care that impact the patient-physician
relationship. The Fellowship is for early-career (less than or equal to five
years) faculty members with a regular university/faculty appointment (e.g.,
instructors and assistant professors), with key responsibilities for
developing, implementing, directing, and teaching in a robust, innovative
clinical education and training program. 
Faculty members based at a medical school-affiliated Veterans
Administration Hospital may apply. 
Clinical fellows or senior residents in their last year of the program
may apply, but must have a junior faculty position/university appointment at
the start of the Fellowship funding period on July 1, 2025.
