GENERAL SUMMARY:

The Administrative Fellowship at Henry Ford Health System is a one-year post graduate fellowship experience designed to enhance the development of future healthcare leaders. The fellowship program provides an outstanding opportunity for Master's prepared individuals to learn from experienced, executive-level preceptors and to work in various areas of a vertically integrated health system. The fellowship compromises four areas of focus within Henry Ford Health System: Henry Ford Hospital & Health Network, Henry Ford Medical Group, Health Alliance Plan & Henry Ford Community Hospitals. The cornerstone of the fellowship is project-based learning. With the guidance of a preceptor, fellows participate in a range of projects tailored to address individual areas of interest and organizational needs. Fellows also have the opportunity to interact with senior executives through direct participation in management activities including board meetings, executive staff meetings, retreats, community and philanthropic events, ongoing area and system projects, and other venues at the local, state, regional, and national levels.
