Why Duke Administrative Fellowship
Established in 1980, the Duke University Hospital Fellowship program provides essential management training that contributes to the growth and development of healthcare professionals. Since its inception, two additional fellowships have been added: Senior Administration is dedicated to each program. This is reflected in the direct reporting relationship of the fellows to each of their preceptors:
- Chief Executive Officer of
Duke
University
Hospital
- Chief Operating Officer of the Patient Revenue Management Organization
- Chief Operating Officer of Duke Ambulatory Care Services
The two-year program allows fellows to learn in a responsive and challenging environment, while incre  asing their level of responsibility.
Since 1980, many fellows have remained with Duke University Health System. Fellowship alumni throughout the Health System have remained active in the development and mentorship of current fellows.
"Having the luxury to look back over time, I can confidently say that the decision to participate in the Duke Fellowship is the single, most influential decision in my career thus far. The exposure to so many different areas allowed me to refine further the skill sets that I learned in my masters program, exposed me to a myriad of leadership styles, and helped me better develop a vision for what I enjoyed doing. The network that I developed during my fellowship is the same network that I use today, a benefit that has made the transition through different areas of the health system a little bit easier. The mentoring I received helped me reflect on who I was as a leader and targeted the weak areas that needed to be addressed before I could be successful. I owe much to the fellowship program and am thankful for the opportunities it afforded me and the doors it opened."

"The Duke Administrative Fellowship was the ideal combination of a structured program with all the requisite resources needed to make this function well along with an unstructured component that allowed for self-directed learning. The Program provided great exposure to many different areas of the Health System and set the foundation for the network I use today. I would recommend the experience to anyone interested in pursuing administration in academic medical centers."

“The Duke Revenue Cycle and Financial Management Fellowship was the perfect opportunity for me to gain exposure to the financial and operational aspects of healthcare management. Over the course of two years, I obtained a solid foundation of revenue cycle principles and gained exposure to other key areas of the health system. Additionally, the key relationships that I have formed and the variety of experiences have helped shape my leadership and management style. I couldn't think of a better way to start my career in healthcare.
