Administrative Fellowship

About the Program

The Rochester Regional Health Administrative Fellowship is a paid,12-month post-graduate program designed to grow and develop the next generation of healthcare leaders. As a fellow, you will have the opportunity to complete meaningful system-wide projects as well as gain new skills and exposure in areas of interest.

Areas of Study

All fellows will work under the guidance of a preceptor and program executive sponsor in order to set goals, receive constructive feedback, and manage their project portfolios. At Rochester Regional Health, we pride ourselves on our unique format of pairing our fellows with preceptors based on their strengths, career goals, and interests. Several preceptors have also completed an administrative fellowship early in their career. They understand the value that comes from a fellowship and will work closely with fellows to refine the necessary skills in management to prepare them for the next step of their career.
