About the Fellowship

At Duke Regional, fellows develop a unique understanding of the demands placed on the administrators of a community hospital that is simultaneously governed by both a local hospital board - the Durham County Hospital Corporation - and a leading academic health system - the Duke University Health System.

The fellowship is a 24-month program at Duke Regional Hospital, a 369-bed community facility that is one of three acute care hospitals in the Duke University Health System. It is designed to expand your knowledge in healthcare administration while gaining a unique experience in a community hospital.

The Duke Regional fellowship recruitment cycle occurs every 2 years. We encourage you to apply to Duke Regional’s Administrative Fellowship Program in 2021.
