About The Position

Oak Street Health’s 12-month paid fellowship in adult primary care is offered in formal collaboration with the University of Michigan School of Nursing. The program uses a value-based care model focused on care quality rather than service volume and is designed to help new nurse practitioners and eligible physician assistants become confident, capable clinicians caring for older adults. Fellows build their own patient panels, learn from multiple preceptors, and participate in didactic learning that builds on their graduate training. Fellows must commit to working at Oak Street Health for at least one year after completing the fellowship. Cohorts begin in September and March each year. The role is based at the Little Village clinic in Chicago, Illinois, and requires Spanish. The location’s stated annual salary is $100,000. The position is full-time, with 40 anticipated weekly hours.
