Addressing the need for Clinical Educators The Primary Care Champions Fellowship is designed to help clinical professionals of all disciplines develop exemplary leadership and teaching skills, preparing them for muchneeded and meaningful service in health professions education. Upon completion of the program, fellows will be confident, serviceminded clinical leaders, equipped with skills to manage thriving practices, improve physical wellness and expand learning opportunities in rural areas.

The Primary Care Champions fellowship for health professionals is a twelve month, creditbearing, non-degree graduate Fellowship program of Campbell University, based within the Jerry M. Wallace School of Osteopathic Medicine.

Key learning outcomes Upon completion of this program, graduates will be skilled in five domains of competencies necessary for successful careers as clinical leaders and teachers: • Education, including theory and application to teaching in health professions • Leadership, with a focus on servant leadership • Healthcare delivery systems, quality improvement, and population-based care • Personal and professional management • Multiculturalism and interprofessional teamwork The Fellowship program runs one calendar year.

Fellows attend class one half-day per week on campus, and complete a practice-related project. Project topics are selected by the fellows to benefit their practice setting. These may address federal priority topics such as opiate use, mental health, childhood obesity, or any practice-specific need.

Stipends are available for qualified candidates!

Fellowship courses include: • The Successful Clinical Leader • Governance and Administration • Introduction to Teaching

An optional, tuition-based, second year of courses fulfills requirements for a Master of Health Professions Education (MHPE) degree. The MHPE program is pending approval by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC) and is currently recruiting students. This degree program provides more in-depth preparation for academic roles, including course design, assessment, and research skills.
