Case Studies
Eliminating Health Care Disparities Through Fellowships
The Minority Faculty Development Awards program at University Hospitals Case Medical Center in Cleveland provides mentoring, education and hands-on leadership experience to several high-potential junior faculty physicians each year. Participants, chosen by individual departments, plan a three-year project that focuses on career growth while targeting work to eliminate health care disparities. Working with a mentor, participants execute their plans with the help of a $75,000 cash award for research, equipment, academic enrichment and professional development. In its first six years, the program has included six African-American women, six African-American men, five Hispanic women and two Hispanic men.
