Med Serve is a program through AmeriCorps that allows students interested in pre-health careers, such as becoming a physician or a physician's assistant, to serve for two years at a clinic in North Carolina. All the clinics focus on primary care in some form or fashion, and fellows serve in different clinical roles as medical assistants, health coaches, scribes, and anything related to that. They also serve in a community health role as health educators, outreach personnel, population health specialists, and more.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month

May is Mental Health Awareness Month

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, a period devoted to promoting mental health, eradicating stigma, and providing support. Mental health is still stigmatized, misunderstood, and infrequently discussed, despite the fact that everyone is affected differently. This month is an important opportunity of the importance of taking care of ourselves and others, to acknowledge the significance of mental health, and normalize honest conversations about mental health.
