What might a Clinical Inquiry Fellow do?

Some thoughts for the clinical inquiry fellowship

This is the first post that I’ve written that is hidden from the public. The full post is only available to those that have indicated their intent to be a Clinical Inquiry Fellow (CIF). This is a grassroots project - and my goals and vision is that it will continue to be a grassroots project. To be more than grassroots is to become institutionalized, and I’m trying to avoid that. I’m trying to keep the focus on the contributions, not on credentials or on an institution.

A goal - for making a contribution - is that each fellow publishes at least one paper as primary author. It could be a critical realist review, it could be a clinical perspective, it could be a narrative summary or short clinical story. It could be a form of paper that is new - I’m fancying a form yet to be developed called a “Clinical Inquiry.” But more traditional forms are preferred to start in order to get the ideas out to the world.
