AHCJ focuses on Health journalism fellowships open [US]

Journalists with a project on health care can apply for a fellowship.

The Association of Health Care Journalists (AHCJ) is seeking applicants for the AHCJ Reporting Fellowships on Health Care Performance.

The fellowship is designed to enable fellows to work independently over a one-year period while still maintaining their regular employment.

Fellows are expected to produce a package of stories spotlighting a system-related topic, problems and potential improvements. AHCJ fellowship leaders will provide support and guidance through seminars, conference calls and email consultations.

The fellowship provides seminar and workshop trips, a project allowance of up to US$4,000, AHCJ membership and a US$2,500 fellowship award for the successful completion of the project.

The deadline is Oct. 26.
