Healthcare Administration Fellowship

The complexity of managing healthcare delivery systems has increasingly required physician leadership, and surgeons are often well positioned to assume these roles. Yet, our surgical training does not include the key skills and experiences these leaders need – finance, clinical operations, human resources, strategy, and others.

In order to more formally prepare the next generation of surgeon administrative leaders, the Department of Surgery offers this Healthcare Administration Fellowship, intended for residents in their academic development time. It is anticipated that most fellows will be engaged in primary scholarly work in health services research (HSR) or other related disciplines, and that this Fellowship will be the secondary focus of their academic time. The program is operated through the Center for Health Outcomes and Policy (CHOP).
