This 8-month fellowship addresses the gap between clinical expertise and educational competency for early-career primary care faculty. The program develops essential skills through evidence-based training in clinical teaching methods (One Minute Preceptor, SNAPPS, small group facilitation), structured learner assessment, curriculum design using adult learning principles, and culturally responsive mentoring. Fellows also build leadership competencies in negotiation, meeting facilitation, and scholarly project development to prepare for the full spectrum of academic responsibilities. The curriculum combines eight monthly 3-day sessions with implementation practice in participants' home programs, fostering both skill development and peer networking. Fellows return each month to share experiences, refine approaches, and build lasting professional relationships that support career-long growth and collaboration.

1. Implement specific clinical teaching models (One Minute Preceptor, SNAPPS, Prime and Prep, Two Minute Observation, and Activated Demonstrations) during clinical supervision.
2. Apply structured assessment frameworks to evaluate learner competencies and provide specific, actionable feedback during clinical rotations.
3. Design curriculum components that address identified learning gaps using adult learning principles and incorporate active learning methods.
4. Demonstrate effective mentoring conversations that support learner development across cultural and professional differences.
5. Design and execute a scholarly project that contributes to medical education, scholarship, or program improvement initiatives.
6. Establish leadership practices that promote collaborative decision-making and positive educational culture within their home programs.
7. Establish ongoing peer mentorship relationships within the fellowship network to provide mutual support and collaborative problem-solving for educational challenges.
8. Adapt teaching resources and communication strategies to support learners from diverse backgrounds, addressing varying learning styles, cultural perspectives, and professional development needs.
9. Demonstrate dynamic presentation skills, including interactive engagement strategies, visual design principles, and audience-responsive delivery methods during educational presentations.
10. Practice evidence-based wellbeing strategies, including self-compassion techniques, growth mindset approaches, and mindful practice methods, to sustain professional effectiveness and prevent burnout.
