The Southern Regional AHEC Family Medicine Residency has been a Faculty Development Fellowship site since the 1980s, originally in conjunction with Duke; independently since 2011. Fellows spend one year in an immersive experience embedded in a thriving Family Medicine Residency program.  You will learn through one-on-one supervision, hands-on teaching in both outpatient and inpatient settings, and focused reading and discussions.  You will design and implement both a research project and a curriculum project.

By the end of the fellowship, you will have gained the skills necessary for a successful academic career. You will learn the theory of teaching family medicine, how to teach in various clinical settings, how to become an excellent lecturer and small-group teacher, and how to become an effective mentor.
