Applications for the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) Foundation Family Medicine Leads Emerging Leader Institute (ELI) are now open. This yearlong opportunity provides leadership skills training for family medicine residents entering their first or second year and medical students entering their second, third, or fourth year. The application period ends Friday, March 1.

Thirty scholars will receive a $1,000 scholarship to attend the Family Medicine Leads ELI and the AAFP’s National Conference of Family Medicine Residents and Medical Students (National Conference) Thursday-Saturday, August 1-3, in Kansas City, MO. Scholars choose one of three leadership development tracks: Policy & Public Health Leadership, Personal & Practice Leadership, and Philanthropic & Mission-Driven Leadership. Following the workshop, participants work with a family physician mentor to develop a project related to their track of study.
