- CAP Encourages Members to Apply for 2024 NAM Scholars in Diagnostic Excellence Program
The National Academy of Medicine (NAM) in partnership with the Council of Medical Specialty Societies (CMSS) just opened the application process for the 2024 NAM Scholars in Diagnostic Excellence Program - Advancing Equity and Implementing National Strategies to Improve Diagnosis.
Funded by the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, this collaborative program is designed to advance equity and develop leaders who can drive implementation of effective strategies to raise awareness of diagnosis in medicine, support diagnostic excellence, and reduce diagnostic errors at the national level. Up to 10* scholars participate in this one-year, part-time remote program to enhance their knowledge and skills in diagnostic quality and safety, and to accelerate their career development in becoming national leaders in the field. The program seeks exceptional individuals who are interested in focusing on diagnosis-related work from a broad range of disciplines and professions — including physicians, advanced practice clinicians, quality experts, informaticians, and researchers. The program specifically encourages applications from underrepresented groups in medicine.
The program includes a structured online curriculum; cohort learning activities; professional networking opportunities through the NAM and CMSS; mentorship; a $35,000 grant; and an additional $5,000 domestic travel funds.
There will be three applicant information sessions.
- Applicant Information Session #1: January 18 at 11am ET - Register
- Applicant Information Session #2: January 31 at 1pm ET - Register
- Applicant Information Session #3: February 13 at 3pm ET - Register
* With additional support from the John A. Hartford Foundation, an 11th scholar with a focus on advancing equity and diagnostic excellence for older adults may be selected.
