It is an exposure that will put you in the room with some of the world’s leaders and provide you access to an approach to problem solving that is practical and usable in any work environment. It will provide an opportunity to contribute to answers for some of the nation’s healthcare problems.

There is simply no other organization that brings together this level of resources and caliber of thought leaders to tackle the biggest health problems facing America and the world. To borrow from Hamilton, if you want to be in the room where it happens, there is no better opportunity than the NAM fellowship.
Dr. Hanni Stoklosa, Harvard University | American Board of Emergency Medicine Fellowship
The fellowship granted me access to the most prominent leaders in academic medicine as well as human trafficking policy leaders. The synergy between those two worlds that the fellowship created for me has allowed me to elevate my work on human trafficking & health care to United Nations and World Health Organizational levels.
Dr. Jennifer Christian, Cornell University | NAM Fellowship in Pharmacy
Through the NAM Fellowship in Pharmacy I was able to connect with healthcare leaders around the world and the experience further strengthened my desire to contribute to advancing a learning health system that promotes improved health for all.
Dr. Deidra Crews, Johns Hopkins University | Gilbert S. Omenn Fellowship
My experience with the NAM has helped me to think more broadly. It’s a really wonderful chance to expand your horizons around how biomedical research relates to health policy. I think it can only be a career-enhancing experience.Ìý
