About the Program
The Department of Medicine (DOM) Program for Academic Clinician Educators for Fellows (PACE-F) is a one-year DOM initiative designed to improve the development of clinician educators at the fellow level. The DOM will provide each PACE-F Scholar with up to $10,000 funding during the 2025-2026 academic year, which may be used for medical education research, innovative program development in education, and/or professional development as an educator of the Scholar. Up to two fellowship slots will be competitively offered during the 2025-26 academic year. Applications will be reviewed by a committee of DOM faculty members.

Meet Christopher Mowry, MD
CJ Mowry, MD, is a current fellow in the Division of Pulmonary Sciences and Critical Care Medicine. His PACE-F project focuses on improving education around high-acuity, low-occurrence (HALO) procedures in the medical intensive care unit (MICU). These rare but critical events pose unique challenges for learners and educators. Dr. Mowry aims to identify gaps in current teaching methods and develop guiding principles to strengthen procedural education—principles that could extend beyond the MICU to other clinical learning settings.
