Applications for the Robert Wood Johnson Health Policy Fellows program are open through November 3, 2025.
About the Program
The RWJF Health Policy Fellows program offers mid-career professionals a nonpartisan, hands-on experience in federal health policy. Administered by the National Academy of Medicine, our Washington, DC-based program begins with a 3.5-month immersive policy orientation, followed by a full-time placement as a senior advisor to a federal legislative or executive branch official or committee. After the year in DC, fellows join a lifelong network of 300+ alumni.
Who Should Apply?
The RWJF Health Policy Fellows program welcomes applicants from across health and healthcare, including: medicine, nursing, public health, law, dentistry, economics and other social sciences (especially disciplines related to factors that influence population health, such as housing, transportation, nutrition, wealth, employment, education, and environmental and community conditions), health services and social work/behavioral health, and other health professions.
