Canadian Harkness Fellowships

The Canadian Harkness Fellowship Award enables talented Canadians to participate in the Harkness Fellowships in Health Care Policy and Practice , a core program of The Commonwealth Fund's International Program in Health Policy and Innovation.

The Commonwealth Fund, in collaboration with the Canadian Foundation for Healthcare Improvement (CFHI), offers a unique opportunity for promising mid-career professionals — academic researchers, government policy-makers, clinical leaders, senior hospital managers and journalists -- to spend a year in the United States to study healthcare delivery system reforms (e.g. bundled payments, accountable care organizations, innovative approaches to care for high-need, high-cost patients) and critical issues on the health policy agenda in both the U.S. and Canada.
