The Administrative Fellowship is an intensive, year-long opportunity to learn and work under the guidance of executive leadership. The program is for individuals who have completed graduate-level training in health administration.

The purpose of the Administrative Fellowship is to bridge the gap between academic coursework in health administration and the practical application of leadership and managerial skills.

Program Structure
The Administrative Fellowship provides a one-year rotational and project-based opportunity for young careerists to experience the many aspects of healthcare administration. The Fellowship has been a presence at the Medical Center for over 45 years and is among the oldest administrative fellowships in the nation.

The Fellowship is structured in 3 parts: rotations, projects and leadership.

Rotations
To gain exposure to the entire Medical Center and its subsidiaries, fellows spend a portion of their time in rotations.

Rotations take the fellows throughout all aspects of the hospital, but can also be catered in accordance with the fellow's individual learning objectives and interests. Rotations will encompass numerous areas and will expose fellows to the clinical, academic, research and operational areas of the organization.

Projects
To gain practical experience, fellows also spend a portion of their time completing projects. Projects are largely based on the fellows' rotation schedule and their respective areas of interest. Fellows are expected to complete projects across both the clinical and academic enterprises.

Projects vary widely, but could include:

- Development of business plans
- Provision of information for capital equipment requests
- Assistance with budget preparation
- Survey data analysis
- Involvement with process improvement initiatives
- Participation in organizational campaigns (United Way, Heart & Stroke Walk, etc.)
- Fellows have flexibility to initiate participation in projects based on their specific learning objectives and interests as well as the needs of the organization.

Leadership
Fellows also have the opportunity to participate in leadership meetings and community initiatives to ascertain a high-level understanding of the organization as well as to observe various leadership and managerial styles. These meetings offer the fellows exceptional learning opportunities and help them build a complete understanding of current initiatives within the organization.

Compensation
Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist offers administrative fellows a total compensation package including:

- Competitive salary
- Insurance benefits (health, dental and vision)
- Option to contribute to our 403b retirement savings plan
