The National Institutes of Health (NIH), in partnership with the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG), seeks qualified physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners and genetic counselors interested in acquiring credentials and experience to lead genomic medicine research and implementation programs at the NIH, major medical centers and other organizations. The NIH-ACMG Genomic Medicine Program Management Fellowship was established in 2017 as a partnership among ACMG and four components of NIH - the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD), and the All of Us (AoU) Research Program. This fellowship seeks to increase the pool of health practitioners trained in managing research and implementation programs in genomic medicine.

The application portal is now open for the 2022-2024 fellowship period. Applicants must be US citizens licensed to practice as physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, or genetic counselors in the United States, having completed an applicable advanced degree (MD, DO, PA, NP, or genetic counseling MS or PhD), with a strong interest in establishing and managing genomic medicine programs. Post-graduate residency training is preferred but not required.  Salary and benefits will be commensurate with experience.

Interested candidates must complete an application by December 1, 2021 at 5:00 PM, Eastern Time (ET).
