TaketheFight is a radical Two-Year Fellowship. We train top students and pair them one-on-one with serious cancer patients to give those patients a better shot at living longer and better. We like the think of it as Teach For America…for healthcare. Our students attend doctors’ appointments, research potential adjuvant therapies and clinical trials based on that patient’s specific biomarkers, have sat-in on Tumor Boards, etc. Upon graduation, for Year Two as a gap year, students are employed full-time at TaketheFight Headquarters in NYC, to problem-solve at a systemic level the issues they experienced in the health system while fighting cancer alongside their patient. Year 1 is about serving. Year 2 is about solving. Check out this video
