“…The HSI Fellowship program provides fellows with an experiential learning opportunity within a health system organization (defined as a public, private, or not-for-profit organization based in Canada with a mandate focused on health, such as a ministry of health, regional health authority, health service delivery organization, health quality council, public health unit, health charity, health professional association, consulting firm with a health-focused mandate, etc.) where they spend the majority of their time, as well as protected time for academic research at a Canadian university; co-supervision and mentorship from a health system leader within the health system organization and an academic supervisor with expertise in HSPR at the university; a professional development training allowance; and participation in a national cohort of fellows and health system and academic leaders that includes an annual in-person National Cohort Retreat and quarterly webinar training sessions in enriched core competencies (for a full description, see CIHR-IHSPR [2016] ; McMahon et al [2019a] ; and McMahon and Tamblyn [2019c] ). Each of these program elements is deliberately aligned with the suite of enriched core competencies and provides opportunities for fellows to complement their research skills with professional competencies and enhanced skills.…”
