The Society of Teachers of Family Medicine is an association of nearly five thousand family medicine educators, including medical school professors, preceptors, residency program faculty, residency program directors, and others involved in family medicine education.

Through its annual Family Medicine Program Enhancement Award program, STFM awards four grants of up to $2,000 for family medicine programs to implement enhancements at their institutions while developing the leadership skills of family medicine faculty. Preference will be given to programs whose project leaders are early in their academic careers.

To be eligible, the program must initiate from a department of family medicine or one of its divisions or a family medicine residency program. In addition, the faculty member designated as project leader must be a current STFM member, a full-time faculty member at a family medicine department or family medicine residency program, and be employed in academic family medicine for no more than ten years.

For complete program guidelines and application instructions, visit the STFM website.

DEADLINE: SEPTEMBER 23, 2014
