Fellowships are prestigious opportunities for recent graduates to get hands-on experience, acquire new skills and showcase competencies they attained in their program. Fellowships are the nonclinical equivalent of residencies for the healthcare field. They are highly competitive and usually run from one to two years, where fellows focus on a specific project or gain exposure to a particular area of healthcare.
During their paid fellowship, graduates work closely with top healthcare executives from across the country to advance their skills and expertise. Most of the time, fellows secure permanent roles with the organization after completing the program.
An administrative fellowship is a big honor. It’s an opportunity to keep exploring the healthcare field, while learning about yourself and what you want to do with your career. You network and gain meaningful exposure not typically available straight into a job after graduation.
