Graduate-Level Students
MAHEC partners with other organizations and institutions of higher learning to offer unique fellowship opportunities in our mountain region. Whether you are interested in expanding your professional résumé or applying to medical school, these programs are designed to provide Fellows with real-world experience and make a lasting difference in the communities they serve.
The Davidson Impact Fellowship provides high-impact employment opportunities for recent Davidson College graduates who want to work with nonprofit organizations engaged in critical social issues. Recent fellows have worked with regional and state leaders to develop opioid education programs that are increasing North Carolina's capacity to treat opioid and substance use disorders as well as to prevent and reduce associated injuries and overdose deaths.
This program encourages Davidson College graduates to help create and implement solutions for the most urgent problems confronting communities, while fostering leadership skills that can promote robust social change. This is a one-year, paid internship with clinical shadowing opportunities and a community and/or organizational project with MAHEC and community partners.
Through a partnership with MedServe, the MedServe Fellowship connects future medical students with innovative, community-oriented, primary care practices across North Carolina. Fellows are recent college graduates who have completed a pre-medical curriculum and are interested in gaining practical real-world experience before they apply to medical school.
Program participants have full-time positions and spend of half of their time in clinical roles getting to know the practice and the other half in community-facing roles getting to know the local health system. Their roles are designed to meet their community's healthcare needs. Over the course of two years, fellows transform not only themselves but also their practice and community. This is a two-year, paid internship in Western North Carolina working at MAHEC across various disciplines.
