OUR MISSION

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 combines:

  • mentored, entrepreneurial, community-based service projects
  • a curriculum that emphasizes values and leadership
  • structured opportunities for individual and group reflection
  • lifelong fellowship with service-oriented colleagues
