The Teaching and Education Fellowship is a one-year fellowship at Northwell Health with 20 hours of clinical time and 20 hours of protected time and didactics. Fellows benefit from close mentorship with a mature group of career educators and hands-on experience in teaching.

The purpose of medical education is to improve the care of the patient. Teaching is a force multiplier to efficiently create expert physicians and lifelong learners. This fellowship encompasses theory (learning theory and neuroscience), didactic teaching methods (immersion into clinical teaching, small and large group methods, bedside teaching, and presenting), scholarship (an educational research project, assessment, development of CV and a teaching portfolio,  and leadership training), and programmatic exposure (undergraduate and GME, core residency roles, feedback and remediation).

A fellowship is worth the investment if it feeds your passion and helps you attain your career goals. The Northwell Fellowship will create a focus of study depending on the candidate’s area of interests. In general, a concentration may be followed in:

–Residency Leadership: Interfacing with hospital DIO and department Chair, experience with GME and ACGME regulations, and emphasis on recruitment and programmatic requirements.

–Undergraduate Leadership: Medical school appointment with experience teaching MS1 and MS2 courses, clerkship assistant director responsibility, curriculum development and delivery, and emphasis on mentoring and counseling residency applicants.
