The AMA Foundation Fellowship Commission for LGBTQ Health will include 13 to 15 LGBTQ thought leaders, education specialists, physicians and philanthropists. They will guide the inception of the AMA Foundation LGBTQ fellowship program, a national fellowship program that will help establish a pipeline of specialists trained to address the healthcare needs of the LGBTQ community.
John D. Evans, a co-founders of C-SPAN, will chair the commission. He continues to serve on the C-SPAN board and also co-chairs the advisory board for the Institute of Human Virology at the University of Maryland in Baltimore.
The AMA Foundation said it hopes the fellowship program will reduce LGBTQ health disparities, increase cultural and clinical competency among physicians and improve basic quality of life for LGBTQ communities.
