What are the fellowship's goals?
Goals include:
- To foster the training and growth of future executive leaders in departmental and hospital administration and operations.
- To create a low-risk environment where the fellow can translate administrative theory into action at an early stage in their career.
- To create leaders in the growing fields of digital health and data analytics and how those implementations relate to hospital operations and finances.
- To foster early mentor-mentee relationships that span beyond the fellowship and progress the fellow’s career development and advancement.
