Individualized Support
We know mentorship is imperative in guiding the next generation of academically oriented subspecialists, and we have a program in place to support your career planning and development.
Our graduates tout the lasting connections with our faculty as one of the most valuable experiences in our program.
Mentorship Structure
You'll be matched with one of our clinician-educator core faculty who will serve as one of your continuity clinic attendings. This faculty member will also provide mentorship and coaching as you progress though the milestones needed to achieve competence for independent practice.
Because we are a smaller division, you will meet all of our faculty members through clinical experiences and educational conferences, and build additional mentorship relationships that way.
You also can form relationships with mentors outside our fellowship and division through partnerships with the UW School of Medicine and Public Health, other schools at UW-Madison, and UW Health.
The Ways We Mentor You
Career Development
Pair with a faculty member to support your general career development during training and beyond. Career mentors provide guidance on building a CV and portfolio, applying to jobs, seeking out a career path in the field, and other general guidance as training progresses.
Quality Improvement
Participate in the Department of Medicine’s QI Curriculum for Fellowship and present at the UW Health QI Symposium.
Research
Select a research mentor who will guide your progress from project selection to presentation of findings. Our core faculty member for research and quality improvement is an additional resource to support your success.
