About the Administrative Fellowship Program
Thomas Jefferson University Hospital’s Administrative Fellowship Program offers individuals with graduate degrees in healthcare
and/or business administration practical experience in an urban academic medical center. At least one Fellow is selected each
year to participate in the 12-month program. While the program is based at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, Fellows often
have the opportunity to work on projects that affect the entire Jefferson Health System.
As a vital part of Jefferson’s administrative team, each Fellow works side by side with Jefferson Executives and Directors
to develop essential management and leadership skills. In return, Jefferson draws on each Fellow’s unique talents and creative
ideas to help implement innovative approaches for delivering high-quality clinical care and services to patients. Through
the Administrative Fellowship Program, Thomas Jefferson University Hospital prepares confident, analytical and dynamic leaders
who are equipped to meet the challenges of the ever-changing healthcare industry.
