GE-NMF PRIMARY CARE SUMMER LEADERSHIP PROGRAM 2012
The GE Foundation and NMF are pleased to announce a new Primary Care Leadership Program (PCLP) that will provide future primary care healthcare professionals a valuable opportunity to examine the challenges and rewards of primary care practice in community health centers across the US. This program enhances traditional clinical externships with an element of leadership training and network building. The overall mission of the PCLP is to develop a pipeline of future primary care professionals and to build capacity at community health centers.
The innovative PCLP scholarship program will provide students with a service‐learning opportunity at community health centers in Los Angeles CA, Phoenix AZ, Memphis & Nashville TN, or Jackson MS during the summer of 2012. Participants are required to complete 200 service hours within 5 to 7 weeks of the program’s start date. The GE‐NMF scholars will be actively engaged in healthcare services, leadership training, and institutional project activities relevant to both academic programs and host sites, and will participate in a network of organizations and individuals from academic institutions, NMF alumni and program advisors.
Eligibility and Selection Criteria:
2012 scholarships will be awarded to thirty medical students (rising MSIIs and MSIIIs). The scholarship stipend is expected to cover travel, living, and lodging expenses during the
program.
