We are thrilled to welcome new Fellows to all four of our primary care fellowship programs this year. Fellows in our programs all train at our community health centers in providing different types of specialized care within the context of family medicine.
The Institute for Family Health is committed to training the next generation of allied health professionals to provide high quality, family-oriented care to people in underserved communities. These fellowship programs build on the Institute’s strengths and resources to develop specialized skill sets in key areas of need in the communities we serve.
