Description
The Residency Fellowship in Health Policy (RFHP) is a three week-long course that provides multi-specialty residents and fellow physicians with knowledge about pertinent U.S. health policy issues so they can be prepared to become better physician-leaders in a systems-based approach to medical practice. The fellowship is offered to George Washington University (GW) residents and Children's National Medical Center (CNMC) residents. The two components of the fellowship include daily classroom-based learning and in-person site visits at various DC institutions. Sample course topics include public and private insurance structure, healthcare payment/incentives, and pharmaceutical industry policy.
