The Reproductive Health Care and Advocacy Fellowship is a year-long intensive clinical training program that develops a diverse community of family medicine leaders to provide, teach, and advocate for access to equitable and person-centered reproductive health care, including abortion. We envision a vibrant and diverse community of clinical leaders and change-makers with the power to provide and create access to equitable and person-centered reproductive health care in the United States. Visit our website for more information.

Letters of Recommendation:

Please provide three letters of recommendation. Letters must be on electronic letterhead with an electronic signature or a scanned PDF of the letter on letterhead with a signature. You can obtain letters of recommendation from individuals who are mentors, professors, advisors, or supervisors in any capacity in medicine/health care, not necessarily specialized or focused on reproductive health. 1 out the 3 letters may be written by a colleague (i.e. co-resident) or someone you mentor. If this individual does not have an institutional affiliation, electronic letterhead for this letter is not necessary.
