The Church Health Scholars Program prepared me in ways that I couldn't imagine when I first came here. I had a dream of being a physician since I was a child, but it wasn't until I came to Church Health and saw the physicians here really impact people in an underserved community. And that has always stuck with me.
This opportunity has allowed for me to gain valuable medical experience and clinical exposure. I have observed firsthand the need for more cost-efficient health care for those who are financially unstable in our community. This position has allowed me to aid in Church Health’s mission to serve the underserved and contribute to improve health care within the Memphis community.
My time as a Scholar was full of learning and making connections in the medical field. If you find yourself in need of patient care or clinical experience, or are interested in learning how the health care field can grow and change you, this is the place to do it!
My experience as a Scholar was invaluable. I received hands-on experience communicating regularly with patients, and by working closely with our volunteer specialists, I developed an understanding of patient-provider interactions.

Thank you to Mrs. Cecile Skaggs for the generous support of future doctors though the Church Health Scholar Program. This support honors the memory of her husband, Dr. Marvin Skaggs who was a physician and leader in our community.
About the Church Health Scholars Program
Since its inception as the volunteer-based Clinic Assistant Program in the late 1980s, the Church Health Scholars program has helped participants launch careers as medical providers, community leaders and health care professionals.
The Church Health Scholars program is a gap-year, service-learning fellowship for recent four-year college graduates interested in serving underserved populations and exploring the intersection of faith and health. During a year of meaningful work, scholars are exposed to what it means to work in an equitable healthcare setting to serve the underserved populations of Memphis.
Church Health aims to provide a firm foundation for scholars to build professional and personal values, work ethic and perspective that forwards our mission to care for one another in our Memphis community.
