The Association of Health Care Journalists is an independent, nonprofit membership organization dedicated to advancing public understanding of health care issues. Its mission is to improve the quality, accuracy and visibility of health care reporting, writing and editing.
Thanks so much for letting people know about the fellowships. I just wanted to add that we also offer fellowships for journalists who cover rural health, those who cover nonhealth beats, those who work in the ethnic media and journalists in Missouri, New York and Oregon, as well as California. The deadline for all of those fellowships is Feb. 23.
We are excited to be able to offer an unprecedented number of fellowships to help journalists attend Health Journalism 2011.
