Description
The Helmut Schumann Fellowship is a unique career development opportunity offered by Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center and Clinics, designed to support clinicians in broadening their understanding of total health care. Unlike traditional medical research fellowships, this program encourages physicians to explore interdisciplinary areas beyond conventional medicine—such as behavioral science, social science, psychology, nutrition, and health promotion—with the aim of developing innovative approaches that help patients achieve better health, longevity, and overall well-being. The fellowship prioritizes projects that inspire clinicians to view health as an integration of mind and body, and to develop or implement programs that encourage patients to take greater responsibility for their own health.
