Fellowships: Medical Service-Learning
MedServe, North Carolina
full-time, post-graduation (two-year paid fellowship)


MedServe is a non-profit with the mission to improve the health of the medically underserved communities of North Carolina while exposing tomorrow’s most promising future providers to primary care practice in a way that inspires them to be life-long champions of health equity. We connect recent college graduates with a 2-year paid service-learning fellowship in an underserved primary care clinic. We have placed over 70 fellows with clinics that have gone above and beyond to provide innovative models and extensive service to their communities and are often operating in low-resource settings; your fellowship with them will give you a front-row seat to the best of primary care medicine. Responsibilities: As a fellow, you will be exposed to the clinical and community components of being a primary care physician. Clinical roles include medical assistant (vital signs, triage, prior authorizations, referral management), medical scribe, and medical interpreting roles. Community roles include community health worker, health coach & quality improvement project manager. These are meant to build fundamental clinical skills and grow clinic performance in the context of the local health community. MedServe Fellows undergo a rigorous two-week Training Institute in Chapel Hill, NC to prepare for their roles. In addition, we host quarterly skill summits across the state to expose Fellows to key medical concepts and helps them prepare for the next stages of their medical education.
