The Fellow will participate in population health quality improvement activities, including a project to outreach patients with care gaps related to medication use for migraine, and the opportunity to collaborate with the American Medical Association on a system-wide hypertension quality improvement initiative. Additionally, the Fellow will provide ambulatory care clinical services in a primary care clinic, have opportunity to participate in the education of pharmacy students, and take relevant classwork.
The fellowship will be customized to align with the Fellow’s specific needs, providing personalized guidance and support to help them achieve their professional goals. Throughout the fellowship, the Fellow will engage in a dynamic, collaborative academic setting, benefiting from diverse interdisciplinary interactions and extensive networking opportunities within a large academic medical campus.
