The Duke University Hospital Administrative Fellowship Program provides development opportunities that foster the learning of competencies critical to the success of healthcare leaders, an understanding of the structure of Duke University Hospital and Health System, and an appreciation of the complexities of academic medicine.

 

 

The Duke University Hospital Administrative Fellowship is a two-year program designed to provide a comprehensive learning opportunity for graduate candidates who have a career interest in academic medical centers.

 

During the first year, fellows spend their time rotating through the major departments of the Duke University Hospital and Health System. During these rotations, fellows have the opportunity to shadow patient care providers, observe clinical procedures, participate in senior administration meetings, and gain experience through competency-based projects. Fellows typically spend three weeks rotating in each of the clinical service units within Duke University Hospital , providing time to meet key individuals and to engage in at least one project. The chief executive officer will meet with each fellow on a monthly basis to ensure that their experiences are achieving the goals of the fellowship.

During the second year, fellows select an area of the hospital to work in based on career interest, organizational priorities, and mentoring opportunities. In this more focused year, the fellow becomes a member of the management team, developing experience in all facets of healthcare administration, ranging from day-to-day operations to strategic planning.  The chief executive officer will continue to meet with each fellow on a monthly basis.
