Who: All physicians who taught family medicine residents were eligible. Special preference was given to those who work in underserved areas or within FQHC’s, or who are members of underserved groups.

What: Monthly two-hour online interactive workshops on the Blackboard Collaborate platform introduced participants to teaching culturally responsive care (awareness, knowledge, skills) and to teaching and assessing learners in the six ACGME competencies. The virtual classroom allowed participants to fully collaborate in real time and all sessions were recorded and archived for future reference. Curricular materials and participant products will be available online. The fellowship concluded in February 2016 with a three-day on-site capstone experience including participation in the USC-sponsored Innovations in Medical Education Conference.
