Join Alabama's next generation of health leaders and create lasting change in the communities that need you most.
The Albert Schweitzer Fellowship of Alabama is part of a national network of programs preparing the next generation of leaders in health and service. Together, we’re building a pipeline of emerging professionals equipped with the skills, vision, and commitment to tackle unmet health needs and advance equity.
Each year, Alabama Schweitzer Fellows are selected through a highly competitive process from graduate and professional schools across the state. These students share a passion for creating meaningful change and work alongside communities to address Alabama’s most pressing health challenges.
Through service, leadership, and collaboration, our Fellows are creating healthier communities across Alabama. Together, they’ve dedicated thousands of hours, built lasting partnerships, and emerged as leaders improving lives statewide.
