The Institute on Medicine as a Profession (IMAP) and the Josiah Macy, Jr. Foundation are issuing a second request for applications for the joint Education and Training to Professionalism Initiative (ETPI). IMAP and the Macy Foundation will give five awards annually to support faculty-directed educational programs that address one or several of the critical components of medical professionalism. Grants will be provided for a two year period at $25,000 per year.

In promoting professionalism, IMAP and the Macy Foundation are looking less to classroom presentations and more to learning through the clinical experience. Although didactic lectures have a role, the program emphasizes the promotion of professionalism within practice settings. Applicants must be faculty members at accredited medical schools, hospitals, or health care systems, and/or participating in approved residency programs.

Please download the Request for Applications for Year 2 of this initiative here. Proposals are due December 12, 2011. Information on 2011 grantees can be found here.
