The Community Health System Administrative Fellowship is a 12-month rotation- and project-based program.
Administrative Fellows are active members of the organization’s leadership team and participate in a variety of operational, strategic, financial and business planning activities. Fellows meet weekly with their executive preceptor who helps identify projects and tailor professional development throughout this one year rotation- and project-based program.
Fellowship Structure
Month one of the fellowship begins with one-on-one meetings with executives from across Community. The fellow will foster relationships with executives, explore areas of interest and gain an appreciation for the various roles each team plays in achieving Community's business goals and strategy. Additionally, fellows will shadow their preceptor and have weekly meetings to debrief on experiences, ask questions and discuss projects.
Months two through six are spent rotating across the system. Fellows round through approximately 82 areas for a length of anywhere from four hours to three days. Additionally, after rounding across a functional area (nursing, operations, outpatient, ancillary, etc.), fellows will shadow relative leadership for a full day to debrief.
During this timeframe, short-term projects may be identified by fellows, executives, rounding supervisors and/or preceptors. These short-term projects enable fellows to meaningfully support a department and contribute value to the organization.
