The CMCL-FAIMER regional Institute's Fellowship is a two-year fellowship program designed for Indian medical school faculties who have the potential to play a key role in improving medical education at their schools. The first session consists of five days of intensive course at Christian Medical College, Ludhiana India during January 2009 followed by an intersession curriculum innovation project at the participant's home institution. The intersession activity involves mentoring of Fellows and also active engagement in the Internet discussion group. The program is uniquely designed to teach education methods and leadership skills, as well as to develop strong professional bonds with other medical educators.
The CMCL-FAIMER Regional Institute, running in its fourth year, is sponsored by the Foundation for Advancement of International Medical Education and Research (FAIMER), which is a nonprofit foundation of the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG),USA. The Second session will be conducted at Ludhiana during January 2010 and will include various advanced educational techniques.
The selected participants will travel to Ludhiana for the two sessions. Limited funding is available to support Fellows’ travel, local expenses and course fee. The cost of carrying out the project, however, is not included.
Sixteen fellowships are on offer for this year. While the application is open for anyone, preference will be given to faculty working in India. Teachers of other health professions viz. Dental, Nursing and Physiotherapy are also welcome to apply. Selection is based on Institute's internal criteria. For details of the application process, please visit the links given in the side bar.
