Faculty Development Programs

The UW Family Medicine Residency Network exists to promote excellence in family medicine residency education, to provide academic leadership, and to respond to societal needs.

To support our programs, we offer two, year-long faculty development training opportunities.

Comparison: Fellowship vs Hybrid Course

Fellowship

Fellows gather for five full weeks throughout the academic year in-person at the University of Washington Seattle campus.

Hybrid Course

Offered in collaboration with the Faculty Development Fellows at the Madigan Army Medical Center. Participants gather in-person in the Seattle/Tacoma area for two days in the spring and fall and also participate in two 2-day virtual sessions via Zoom in the summer and winter.

Clinical Faculty Appointments

All participants of the Fellowship and Certificate Program are required to have an active Clinical Faculty Appointment with the UW Department of Family Medicine. For more information on Clinical Faculty Appointments, visit our Department website.

Applications & Questions

For more information about the Fellowship or Certificate Program, please contact Jennifer Ames, Education Programs Manager.

Please note, all participants of the Fellowship and Certificate Program are required to have an active Clinical Faculty Appointment with UW Family Medicine. For more information on Clinical Faculty Appointments, please click here.

About the Fellowship

We believe fellowship training is critical to the evolution of family medicine. Our Faculty Development Fellowship program is designed to prepare family physicians for full-time teaching careers in family medicine. The Fellowship provides the resources, experiences and guidance fellows need to assume demanding roles in academic medicine. In turn, we look to the faculty fellows as a source of innovation and renewal within our Family Medicine Residency Network.

The fellows from our affiliated programs are admitted each year and spend five full weeks at the University of Washington Seattle campus throughout the academic year, while serving as a faculty member at their home program.

How to Apply

At this time, we are only accepting applications from affiliated programs. Faculty are nominated to apply by their program director. Speak to your PD if you are interested or contact the FMRN Education team.
