Schweitzer Fellows Program
Health & Medicine Policy Research Group
Founded in 1996, Health & Medicine’s Chicago Area Schweitzer Fellows Program cultivates aspiring health and human services professionals to be informed, concerned, and involved with addressing health inequities. Each year, the Schweitzer Program provides 26 exceptional students with opportunities to design and implement projects to improve the health and well-being of underserved Chicago communities. Fellows’ projects often address the social determinants of health, and their activities frequently include tutoring, violence prevention, health education, healthy lifestyle promotion, and outreach to vulnerable and marginalized groups. Our Fellows for Life alumni program supports our graduates’ further development as leaders in service and provides them with continuing networking, skill-building, and community service opportunities.
