Description:

The RWJF Clinical Scholars Program is a funded national leadership program for clinically active healthcare providers from a broad range of disciplines across the country. The program is supported by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation as part of their new national initiative to achieve a Culture of Health. Applications are due March 8th at 3pm EST.

Eligibility requirements:

Licensed and clinically active healthcare providers who have been in practice at least five years. Eligible occupations include providers trained as audiologists, clinical counselors, dentists, dietitians nurses, nurse practitioners, nutritionists, occupational therapists, pharmacists, physical therapists, physicians, physician assistants, psychologists, social workers, speech therapists, and veterinarians.

Applicants apply in multidisciplinary teams of 2-5 providers. Teams identify complex ‘wicked problems’ compromising a Culture of Health in their communities and propose innovative community-focused approaches to improve community health and health equity.

Awarded teams receive program funds and leadership training to implement their approaches in their communities. Program funds are determined by team size - $35,000 per clinician per year for 3 years. Teams travel twice a year to participate in leadership skills training tailored to active providers and utilize a multi-platform, distance-based system in between onsite training retreats.
