Service Opportunity: Project Horseshoe Farm Community Health Fellowship

By partnering and helping to extend relationship-based service to vulnerable neighbors, Horseshoe Farm provides an opportunity to contribute to the social fabric in local communities in a way that cuts across differences between us that can sometimes divide us.
Our approach includes an educational grant-supported “gap year” Service Fellowship that is mobilizing a generation of top recent college graduates from across the nation to serve others as they learn about Horseshoe Farm’s approach to helping others and strengthening community health. Accepted Fellows receive free housing, an educational grant of $700-$1000/month (site dependent), and valuable experience through:

• Mentored relationship focused service to seniors, adults living with mental illness, and children.
• Work supporting health providers and teachers and extending their capacity to provide relationship focused care and support to adults living with mental illness, seniors, and children in local communities.
• Direct service to individuals as a way of positively impacting the psychological and social determinants of health and learning about Horseshoe Farm’s approach to biopsychosocial community health.
• Close work and collaboration with a team of other talented Fellows and ongoing teaching and mentorship from top notch Site Directors.
• First hand exposure to and learning about health systems, health policy, and Horseshoe Farm’s approach to reinforcing and strengthening health and education systems.
• Experience with and learning about operations in a community based non-profit organization.
• Community Engagement work and other opportunities to get to know your local community.
• Weekly reading and discussion series

Cambridge Coaching MCAT Webinar: Renal System (Part 2)

It's a weekly live webinar about a high yield MCAT topic. It's short, sweet, and packed with valuable insight into both the topic at hand and how it's tested on the MCAT. While we are in the process of developing these materials, we are offering the webinar for free. Consider yourself a pilot student for a future Cambridge Coaching MCAT course, or textbook, or self-study platform (only the future can tell). All we ask in exchange is that you keep coming, participate in Q & A, share your feedback, and let friends know about this resource. This webinar's topic will be Renal System (Part 1), and will take place Friday October 29 at 1pm EST.
