Administrative Fellowship Program
About the Program
The UC Davis Medical Center Administrative Fellowship program is a one-year or two-year program (second year negotiable) with a hospital operations focus achieved by reporting directly to the Chief Executive Officer and serving as a member of the administrative team. The fellow will receive experience in all aspects of management in an academic medical center environment and is exposed to all levels of operation within the organization. The structure of the fellowship is flexible and allows the fellow to tailor experiences and projects around specific interests in accordance with the needs of the organization. Such projects may include business development, human resources, information technology, finance, quality and facilities planning. In addition to gaining experience in administration, the fellow receives extensive leadership training provided by the CEO acting as preceptor and other members of the senior management team.
Program Eligibility
Applicants must possess a MHA, MBA or MPH from a CAHME- or CEPH-accredited graduate program by the start-date.
