Are you a health care provider ready to move to next level as a leader to build a Culture of Health in your community? 

Applications for the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF)Clinical Scholars Program are due March 8th at 3pm EST. The program provides funding and leadership training to clinically active providers to help leverage their ideas to improve health outcomes in communities across the country (http://clinical-scholars.org). We welcome applications from providers working in community, academic, clinic, and tribal settings in the U.S. and U.S territories.

The Clinical Scholars program provides funding and leadership training to clinically active providers with experience in providing healthcare services to children, adults, and families. Preferred applicants are engaged in their community and motivated to leverage their passion and ideas to improve health beyond the clinical setting. Fellows identify complex health equity issues further challenged by social, political, and environmental factors and propose novel interdisciplinary approaches to improve health beyond the clinical setting. Potential fellows apply in multidisciplinary clinical teams (> 2) and may represent the range of health affair professions: dentistry, medicine, nursing, pharmacy, physical therapy, social work, and/or veterinary medicine. The currently funded 2016 team projects are focused on a range of complex health issues: oral health, mental health and opioid abuse, behavioral health, immigrant health, community violence, and the foster care system (http://clinicalscholarsnli.org). 

Program Elements 

  •  Throughout the three-year fellowship, fellows attend seven in-person leadership sessions (2 per year/5 days in length); providing team participation in onsite leadership training no more than 12 days per year. The program covers related travel expenses.
  • In between onsite training sessions teams may also spend 2-3 hours per week participating in our robust distance-learning platform via webinars and self-guided modules. Thus all fellows benefit from mentoring, executive coaching, and a high degree of networking with other program participants and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
  • Teams receive project funds in the amount of $35,000 per clinical team member to apply new solutions to complex health issues.
  • Over the course of the 3 year program fellows build core skills in individual leadership, team leadership, technical skills, and system-level skills and apply those skills in their interdisciplinary approaches to move communities closer to attaining a Culture of Health.  

We encourage you to view our websites to see the range of 2016 Fellows and their Wicked Problem Impact Projects, view webinars describing the program, and hear program reflections from the fellows, review the program components, and start your application  (http://clinicalscholarsnli.org or http://clinical-scholars.org).
