Congratulations to Fadia Gamieldien, Soraya Maart and Jason Marcus, who have all been selected as SAFRI Fellows for 2016. They will be joining Nazlie Beckett and Chivaugn Gordon, who will be returning for the second year of their Fellowship.

The prestigious Sub-Saharan Africa-FAIMER Regional Institute (SAFRI) Fellowship is a two-year fellowship program for health professions faculty. Only 20 fellowships are offered each year, and selection is competitive for applicants from across sub-Saharan Africa. The fellowship is designed to teach education methods, scholarship, change management and leadership skills, and to develop an active, supportive professional network among educators.
