Interdisciplinary Fellowship Continued...

Orientation
The fellows will participate in a five-day orientation program each year. (For fellows selected this year, this program will take place in January 2005. Attendance at this program is required.) The fellows will actively participate in shaping the programs. Fellows will meet together for small group sessions, interactive exercises, shared projects, presentations, expert consultations, and planning sessions with the members and faculty of the Institute. The content of the programs will be developed collaboratively between the fellows and the members of the Institute, and will include the following:
  • Enhancing teaching effectiveness
  • Leadership, negotiation and conflict resolution strategies
  • Improving public advocacy and media relations skills
  • Program evaluation and research methods (including methods of continuous quality improvement)


Mentors
Members and faculty of the Institute will serve as advisors, mentors, and resources to the fellows to support their professional development throughout the program. In addition, the program staff will develop mechanisms for fostering networking and collaboration among fellows and between fellows and relevant organizations. All fellows will be expected to have E-mail capability through the Internet. (MUSC will provide access for those who do not already have an account).
