Tell us about your own experiences or interests in social/reproductive justice, as well as your goals and commitment to social/ reproductive justice and anti-racism in medicine as a clinician, teacher, and advocate. You can read more about RHAP's commitment to anti-racism and equity on our website.

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. One of the three 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.

The following are topics we would like to see in letters of recommendation. One letter does not need to cover all of these topics. Topics include your skills, dedication to, practice, and values around:

Patient-centered care and family medicine
Mentoring and teaching learners
Advocacy and activism
Social justice and health equity, including reproductive and racial justice
Procedural skills
Approach to learning
Commitment to reproductive health, rights, and justice.

Recommendations should be emailed directly by the writer to fellowship@reproductiveaccess.org.
