| HIVMA Minority Clinical Fellowship Program: February 12, 2010 Application Deadline The HIV Medicine Association (HIVMA) created the Minority Clinical Fellowship Program to increase the number of African American and Latino physicians with the expertise to provide clinical care to patients with HIV in the communities most affected by HIV disease. Two one-year fellowships are awarded annually with one targeted to an African
American physician and one to a Latino physician interested in pursuing a career in HIV medicine in the United States. During the fellowship year, fellows manage the ongoing care of patients with HIV disease under the supervision of an HIVMA mentor. The award includes a $60,000 stipend plus funding to support benefits for one year.
Applications are being accepted for the 2010 to 2011 fellowship year, which will start on July 1, 2010. Eligible candidates will be physicians of African American or Latino descent; will have completed their residency by July 2010 or be within the first five years of their medical practice; and will have a demonstrated interest in HIV medicine. The program is not intended for physicians that have completed or that plan to complete an infectious diseases fellowship.
An application along with information on current and past fellows is available online at
www.hivma.org
. The deadline to apply for the two fellowships that begin in July 2010 is Feb. 12, 2010.
