The mission of The Albert Schweitzer Fellowship is to reduce disparities in health and healthcare by developing "leaders in service" - individuals who are dedicated and skilled in helping underserved communities, and whose example influences and inspires others. The Fellowship achieves this through an interdisciplinary, service-learning model that fosters moral and professional development. This model includes four major components: a mentored, entrepreneurial, community-based service project; guidance through a curriculum that emphasizes values and leadership; structured opportunities for individual and group reflection; and, membership in a lifelong fellowship (Fellows for Life) of service-oriented colleagues.
