Overview
This one-year Primary Care Collaborative (PCC) fellowship – targeted at an early or mid-career primary care health professional – would enable an interested individual to obtain exposure to federal regulatory and legislative primary care policy, and to an array of senior leaders from the PCC’s diverse stakeholder membership, Board and working committees. This fellowship starts on July 1, 2026 and will end on June 30, 2026.
This fellowship – the PCC Richard Baron Policy Fellowship – recognizes the many contributions of Dr. Richard Baron, the recently retired President and CEO of the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) and ABIM Foundation, particularly with respect to his efforts to strengthen primary care.
The Fellow would remain in their home institution but be given the opportunity to work with the PCC’s Director of Policy and/or President/CEO on a discrete project, to be determined. The fellow would also attend an array of in-person and remote meetings with senior leaders from the PCC’s membership and Administrative/Capitol Hill officials, as well as be provided the opportunity to contribute to PCC policy products as appropriate.
More specifics
The PCC is regularly approached by early and mid-career leaders about how they can contribute to the PCC’s efforts. The Richard Baron Policy Fellow would allow an individual to go deeper into the PCC’s work by teaming with staff to contribute to strategy and policy work products and to be identified externally as connected to the PCC when they attend and participate in Capitol Hill meetings, sessions with the Administration and attend select Board discussions.
In conversation with the Fellow, the PCC’s Director of Policy would help determine the focus of their year and related PCC working groups to participate in, choosing among the following: Policy and Advocacy Committee; Better Health – NOW Committee; Behavioral Health Integration Workgroup; Primary Care Safety Net Workgroup; Whole Person Care Workgroup and Primary Care Innovators Group. The PCC team would endeavor to make connections for this individual to leaders and organizations of interest to the Fellow. See the full description of PCC committees and workgroups here.
The Rich Baron Fellow will develop a workplan with the Policy Director, that may include other activities such as:
- Opportunity to join weekly team meetings (to gain exposure to the full-range of a policy-engaged organization’s convening, communication and advocacy work)
- In-person participation in PCC convenings in Washington, DC, inclusive of PCC’s biannual conference, member meetings, half- and full-day in-person Workgroup meetings
- Opportunity to provide input on and contribute to PCC publications, including issue briefs, reports and fact sheets, when relevant to the fellow’s expertise and chosen project
Opportunities to contribute to PCC’s communications activities, including the PCC Messaging Workgroup, webinars and thought leadership, when relevant to the fellow’s expertise and chosen projectAn ideal candidate would bring real world primary care clinical expertise and a background in primary care delivery and payment reform or related policy to contribute to the PCC’s work. The PCC would welcome this individual partnering with the team to write thought leadership pieces or on specific work products as both parties decide. This individual can be a primary care physician, nurse practitioner working in primary care or a physician associate in primary care.
The Richard Baron Policy Fellow would need to have permission from their home institution to accept this opportunity and would continue in their current position. Travel and hotel expenses as well as attendance at the PCC’s conference and other critical meetings would be covered by the Fellowship. The approximate time commitment for this individual per month would be 10-20 hours.
Closing
The Rich Baron Fellowship provides an opportunity for the Fellow to gain more exposure to primary care policy and regulation while providing the PCC additional insight from a front-line primary care professional.
