Explore the Fellowship
Welcome!
The University of Washington (UW) Department of Family Medicine’s Reproductive Health Fellowship develops family medicine leaders who champion comprehensive reproductive health services and access within primary care and under-resourced settings around the country. This fellowship is a full-time year-long post-residency training program focused on developing providers’ clinical, teaching, and advocacy skills in reproductive healthcare.
Fellows will be based in the UW Family Medicine Department, work closely with residents and faculty in the UW Family Medicine Residency program, and have their continuity clinic at the UW Family Medicine Residency Northgate Clinic. In addition to clinical teaching in primary care and reproductive health at the Northgate Clinic, the fellow will have the opportunity to hone their own advanced family planning and abortion clinical skills at high volume clinical sites near Seattle and in Yakima, Washington.
Numerous opportunities for training, teaching, advocacy, and research are available to the UW DFM Reproductive Health Fellow. As a Reproductive Health Education in Family Medicine (RHEDI) training site, our family medicine residency clinics provide comprehensive reproductive health and family planning services on site. Fellows will be engaged in clinical teaching with residents and students in our family medicine clinics. Our fellowship faculty also lead the Reproductive Health Interest Group (RHIG) within the UW Family Medicine Residency. Mentorship for scholarship, research, and quality improvement projects is available through our fellowship faculty and the UW Family Planning Division in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology.
