A qualitative assessment of one cohort from the University of North Carolina Family Medicine Faculty Development Fellowship

This project qualitatively assessed the critical components and global impacts for one cohortfrom the part-time faculty development fellowship at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Sixteen individual qualitative in-person interviews were conducted on one complete cohort of faculty development fellows. The data aggregates into four areas of influence. The first two are the critical components of the fellowship: the conditions and the curriculum. The other two are the impacts of the fellowship: the fellows' clarity of career vision and confidence. Graduates reported that their fellowship vitalized them to pursue their ideal position in academic family medicine.
