About the Conference Weekend

The Albert Schweitzer Fellowship's Fellows for Life Conference is an annual event created exclusively for Fellows and Fellows for Life of the U.S. and Lambarene Schweitzer Fellows Programs. This Conference brings together hundreds of health professionals from the U.S. and abroad who are committed to serving populations most in need of medical service. The Conference is a unique experience in its focus on promoting life-long service to underserved populations through close interdisciplinary collaboration that health professionals rarely find elsewhere.

The main goals of the Conference are to:

• Strengthen leadership skills of Fellows for Life in
  health related service: achieved through a series of plenary and breakout sessions featuring both prominent leaders in the health and service fields, and front-line role models in direct service.
  
• Engage FFL with their similarly passionate, service-oriented colleagues in promoting an ethic of lifelong service throughout the health professions: we hope this opportunity to create dialogue with interdisciplinary peers will help Fellows share ideas, best practices and experiences.

The 2010 Fellows for Life Conference will bring hundreds of health professionals and health professional students together to engage in dynamic dialogue about our nation’s most pressing health needs and learn ways to address them through service and civic engagement. Attendees willl return to their home communities more educated about current health disparities and re-energized in their paths of health-related service.
