Association Of Departments Of Family Medicine

The ADFM LEADS Fellowship Program provides interactive training, tools, and experiential learning for those aspiring to senior leadership positions in academic or other health systems. The program has an emphasis on strategic career planning and features a cohort-responsive curriculum structured around the Leadership Competencies for Family Medicine Department Chairs and Senior Leaders, which we have found fit for other leadership roles as well.

The BRC Fellowship equips individuals with the knowledge, leadership skills, and peer support to develop and implement a strategic plan for building research capacity within their own programs, departments, or institutions. The fellowship provides mentorship, leadership training, and support to develop a strategic plan for research, which includes developing a vision statement, stakeholder map, and research capacity assessments for their department or institution.

Board, committees, task forces, advocacy issues, support for the medical journal Annals of Family Medicine, and fellowships are key to carrying out the mission and vision of ADFMs programs and initiatives including critical decisions and support for advocacy family medicine issues, and the support of educational research in Annals.
