About the RADIANT Fellowship
The Reproductive Advocacy and Diversity in Advanced Nursing Training (RADIANT) Fellowship was formed at the College of Nursing at the University of Illinois-Chicago to address inconsistent abortion training and barriers to practice integration. This program aims to create a sustainable model for advancing abortion care statewide by firstly providing targeted education to interested Advanced Practice Clinicians, and secondly supporting the rollout of reproductive services to close gaps in access.
This paid fellowship integrates clinical mentorship and a comprehensive abortion curriculum in trauma-informed and gender-affirming provision of medication and procedural abortion. RADIANT fellows will be accepted to the program through an application process that prioritizes the applicant’s commitment to serving as an abortion provider within an underserved community (e.g., BIPOC, LGBTQI+, immigrant, rural). More information about RADIANT is available on our website.
