AmeriCorps Community Health Fellowship

The AmeriCorps Community Health Fellowship is designed to provide fellows with community based primary care and public health clinical experiences serving vulnerable communities. This unique fellowship will enhance fellows¿ competencies to screen patients for Structural Determinants of Health (SDOH), refer individuals to social and healthcare services, provide healthcare education to high-risk patients, and support the expansion of other capacity needs of primary care and public health organizations.

NNCC¿s Clinical Nurse Educator will help mentor the AmeriCorps Community Health fellows and re-enforce skills building and facilitate discussion based-learning throughout the service-term. Through community based experiential learning, the fellows will develop cultural humility and skills to enter the public health workforce that will advance health equity, healthcare access and improve healthcare outcomes for vulnerable communities. AmeriCorps members will be a part of the new generation of public health leaders who will advocate and advance community based healthcare needs.
