Call for Applications: National Academy of Medicine 2023-24 Scholars in Diagnostic Excellence Program
The National Academy of Medicine is calling for applications for the 2023-24 Scholars in Diagnostic Excellence Program, including for a scholar supported by The John A. Hartford Foundation focused on reducing disparities and errors in diagnosis among the older adult population.
Funded by the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, the collaborative program between the National Academy of Medicine (NAM) and Council of Medical Specialty Societies will develop leaders to drive and support diagnostic excellence. The program includes monthly educational sessions; cohort learning activities; professional networking opportunities through the NAM and CMSS; mentorship; a $35,000 grant; and an additional $5,000 domestic travel funds.
Up to 10 scholars participate in this one-year, part-time remote experience that begins in late June to enhance their knowledge and skills in diagnostic quality, safety, equity and to accelerate their career development in becoming national leaders in the field. With additional support from JAHF, an 11th scholar with a focus on advancing equity and diagnostic excellence for older adults may be selected. Scholars also build upon the work of the 2015 National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine report, Improving Diagnosis in Health Care.
Applications are due by March 1. Applicant informational sessions are being held on Feb 2 and Feb 13. For more information, visit dxexscholars.nam.edu.
