What are the differences between the Clinical Scholars Program and the Health and Society Scholars program?
Both are fellowships funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. The Clinical Scholars Program (CSP) is open only to physicians. The Health and Society Scholars Program (HSSP) does accept some physicians, but most who enroll are non-physicians. The HSSP focuses on population health; the CSP offers the option of studying population health as one of many potential areas of study. The CSP offers a Master’s Degree as part of the core curriculum; the HSSP does not. The University of Michigan is home to both a CSP and an HSSP, as well as yet a third RWJ-funded fellowship, the Scholars in Health Policy Research. While these are three distinct programs, faculty and fellows from all three regularly interact.
