Duke Launches Coleman Family Ventures Fellows Program

Are you inspired by the idea of caring for children, families, and communities? Turn your passion for pediatrics and family medicine into purpose with hands-on experiences that bring health care learning to life. Duke University Health Professions Advising and the Duke Career Center are excited to launch an opportunity designed to prepare undergraduates for meaningful careers in health-related fields through the generosity of the Coleman Family Ventures.

Coleman Family Ventures Fellows Program (CFV Fellows)

Duke University and Coleman Family Ventures recognize that a strong pipeline of healthcare leaders into pediatric and family medicine fields is essential to ensuring equitable access to compassionate, community-centered healthcare. Financial barriers shouldn’t limit your ability to make an impact.  Through the generosity of Coleman Family Ventures, we are excited to launch the Coleman Family Ventures Fellows Program. 

The Coleman Family Venture Fellows program is a cohort of Duke undergraduate students with a demonstrated interest in career pathways in pediatrics and or family-practice. As a CFV Fellow you will have access:

  • $5,000 summer stipend (1 summer) for internships, research, or community-based projects in pediatric and family medicine or related fields
  • $2,500 enrichment funds for conferences, additional research, or MCAT preparation. (additional funding may become available)
  • An opportunity to develop professional, research, and interpersonal skills that strengthen your future in health care
  • Access to an expanded network of professionals in diverse healthcare fields including other Fellows from select colleges/universities (Harvard, Princeton, Stanford, & UVA).
