Platt Summer Externship Application Open
January 1 - April 1
The David and Ethel Platt Family Physicians Summer Externship was established in the name of two exemplary family physicians to help create a way to excite first and second-year medical students about family medicine and hopefully inspire them to begin their careers in the Delaware Valley.
Under the direction of the DAFP REF President, Rebecca Jaffe, MD, MPH, FAAFP, fellowships are offered each year for a two-week externship program where the chosen student(s) shadow family physicians in a variety of Delaware family medicine practices. The program is designed to take place during the summer months and will provide housing, if requested. At the conclusion of the program, a stipend of $1,000 is provided to recipients who also write about their experiences which is then published in DelfamDoc, DAFP’s quarterly journal.
