Philanthropies - Health and Aging Policy Fellows Program; April 15, 2015
Description
Atlantic Philanthropies is
inviting applications for its 2015-16 class of Health and Aging Policy
Fellowships. The year-long program is designed to provide healthcare
professionals with the experience and skills necessary to make a positive
contribution to the development and implementation of health policies affecting
older Americans.
The
program provides fellows with the opportunity to participate in a residential
or nonresidential track. The former allows fellows to participate in the policy
making process on either the federal or state level as legislative assistants
in Congress, professional staff members in executive branch agencies, or policy
organizations. The nonresidential track allows fellows to remain at their home
institution but work on a policy project that involves brief placement(s)
throughout the year at relevant sites. Core program components focused on
career development and professional enrichment are provided for fellows in both
tracks.
Applicants
at all career stages are eligible to apply. The program has a broad
interdisciplinary focus and past fellows have included physicians, nurses,
social workers, psychologists, dieticians, healthcare administrators,
epidemiologists, economists, and lawyers from academic and practice settings.
Candidates
from underrepresented groups are strongly encouraged to apply. Applicants must
be a citizen of the United States or a permanent resident of the U.S. or its
territories who have career plans that anticipate continued work in the U.S.
after the fellowship period.
