Description

The Administrative Fellowship program offers a unique opportunity to learn about the values, mission, and structure of Texas Children’s. Fellows will spend the first month in an immersive and hands-on orientation. This provides fellows with an opportunity to become familiar with the institution, meet key leaders, and identify areas of interest for further project work or rotations. Fellows will then spend time shadowing and working with key leaders to gain perspective on day-to-day operations and decisions faced by executive leadership. Fellows will work closely with the executive leadership team throughout the program on strategic projects that further the organization’s mission and needs. They will attend executive-level and Board of Trustees meetings throughout the program to gain valuable insight into the organization’s direction and top challenges facing healthcare and leadership.
