The two-year University of Michigan Health System 
Administrative Fellowship Program is designed to 
provide an exceptional foundation for a career in 
academic health center administration. The UMHS 
Fellowship offers unique opportunities to work 
closely with and learn from administrative and 
clinical leaders in a leading academic health 
system. 

FELLOWSHIP DESCRIPTION:
UMHS Administrative Fellows work in the Office of 
the Director and CEO of the University of Michigan
Hospitals and Health Centers and the Medical 
School Office of the Dean. The fellowship 
experience is structured to ensure that fellows 
understand how academic health center leaders meet
the challenges of balancing priorities among our 
patient care, research and educational missions. 
At the beginning of the fellowship, the fellow 
meets with the fellowship coordinators to discuss 
goals, interests and potential project work. The 
program does not have required rotations in 
departments, but rather is geared towards an 
individual’s own interests and the institution’s 
priorities. The fellow will pursue a variety of 
leadership development opportunities in a 
framework of continuous learning. The fellows work
closely with senior level executives across the 
Health System who are committed to providing 
strong mentorship during and after the fellowship 
experience. 

Two fellowship positions are available for the 
2009-2011 UMHS Administrative Fellowship.

Administrative Fellowship may be the beginning of
