| Curriculum Overview |
| |
The curriculum of the GIM and FM Fellowship Program combines flexibility to
meet the interests and needs of individual fellows with a "core" set of educational
experiences designed to prepare fellows for future academic careers. Click Preventive
Medicine Residency for specific additional curriculum elements for those
completing the residency. Research skills are developed through didactic instruction
and supervised research experiences. This includes matriculation in the Boston
University School of Public Health to earn a Masters of Science (MSc) degree
in either Health Services or Epidemiology and supervised performance of at least
one research project of the fellow's choosing. Fellows in the Master Educator
Program matriculate in the Boston University School of Education to earn a Masters
of Medical Education. Educational skills for all fellows are developed through
didactic seminars, small group experiential seminars, and supervised teaching.
All fellows participate in a management skills training seminar. Clinical care
consists of a continuity clinic 1-2 times per week and in some cases, specialty
clinics (such as breast clinic, etc.). The amount of time each fellow spends
on the above activities is tailored to individual interests and needs. For instance,
fellows pursuing a career as a clinician-investigator may spend the majority
of their time pursing research projects, whereas fellows interested in education
would spend more time engaged in supervised teaching and designing and/or evaluating
educational curricula and programs.
