Empowering Future Clinicians: NC Advocacy in Medicine Fellowship Seeking Applicants

A groundbreaking new initiative is uniting all five North Carolina medical schools and physician assistant programs to train the next generation of healthcare advocates. The NC Advocacy in Medicine Fellowship is a state-wide program designed to equip medical and PA students with the tools to engage effectively in health policy and advocacy.

Through a series of dynamic workshops—both virtual and in-person—participants will explore the complex healthcare policy landscape of North Carolina, gaining insight into the state’s most pressing policy debates. Students will learn how to critically analyze health policy literature, build constructive relationships with legislators, and communicate persuasively with stakeholders, even when faced with opposing viewpoints. Upon successful completion of the program, all fellows will receive a certificate to honor their accomplishments.
