[Lily Song]

Soros Advocacy Fellowship for Physicians

The program on Medicine as a Profession (MAP) of the Open Society Institute 
(OSI) has established the Soros Advocacy Fellowship for Physicians to 
inspire physicians to greater participation in civil society and engagement 
on behalf of the public interest. Physicians are especially qualified to 
advocate on behalf of their patient populations and communities, and they 
command a prestige and credibility that can serve as a valuable asset in 
advocacy efforts. The fellowship seeks to make a broader vision of societal 
welfare a core professional value for physicians by developing a cadre of 
advocates with expertise in achieving system or policy level change at the 
local, state, and national level.

The next application deadline is January 21, 2004.

The full announcement and description of this award can be found on the 
organization's website:
