2017-2018 Health for America Fellowship
Overview
The 2017-18 fellows were individually embedded within “internal startup” teams working with MI2 to support and explore opportunities within two priority focus areas: integrative medicine and telehealth.
Solution
The fellows worked closely with MedStar colleagues and mentors in these domains, dividing their time between working on assigned projects and proposing new areas for impact. See below for more on their respective learning, contributions, and outcomes.
