MedServe is a 2-year, full-time, post-college community service fellowship in rural and other underserved community primary care medicine located in sites across North Carolina. Do you want to understand how to combine a career in medicine with public or community service? Would you like to see what it's like to be part of a medical team committed to community improvement? MedServe host clinics, operating in low-resource settings, that have gone above and beyond to provide innovative models and extensive service to their communities. Your fellowship with them will give you a front-row seat to the best of primary care medicine.
At MedServe, we believe you can't really learn about the U.S. healthcare system by just shadowing doctors. You need to be part of a healthcare team. We also believe you can plan an active role in a clinic, no matter your experience level.
Responsibilities:
You will perform two jobs at a host clinic: a clinical role that allows you to work closely with a rock-star primary care doctor and a community role that allows you to see how primary care issues can be address outside the walls of a clinic, by getting to know patients as people and understanding local healthcare systems. Clinical roles include medical assistant, medical scribe, and medical interpreting roles. Our class of 19 fellows sees around 1,000 patients per week. Community roles include community health worker, health coach, and quality improvement project manager. Fellows in the past have worked on projects ranging from conduction healthcare outreach for the homeless to educating rural public schools on careers in healthcare.
