Anton Fellowship Program

Application to the Anton Fellowship Program is offered annually to all physicians. This program was created by Carol and Arthur F. Anton with a vision to lead academic medical centers in the development of physician leaders. The Anton Fellowship Program leverages a variety of learning vehicles, including classroom, project and experiential programs that deliver an opportunity for application in immediate and tangible ways. The fellowship also includes a developmental program at Harvard University for physicians in academic health centers. This is a selection program and physicians apply for consideration.
