Additional Comments: The Boston Schweitzer Fellows Program is a one-year interdisciplinary, mentored fellowship program focused on health-related community service and leadership development. The program supports graduate students committed to becoming "leaders in service" - individuals who are dedicated and skilled in addressing the health needs of underserved populations, and whose example influences and inspires others. Each fellow designs and implements a 200-hour community service project addressing local unmet health needs. In the process, fellows develop as lifelong leaders in service through a year-long program of leadership development training, peer reflection, and mentoring.
