Applications call for Administrative Fellowship for University of California

The Administrative Fellowship at the University of California San Diego Health is a one-year program, that provides on-the-job training in the skills and responsibilities required of an administrator in a major academic health system. Reporting directly to the Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) of Innovation and Transformation, and collaboratively to the Executive Team, the Administrative Fellow assumes increasing levels of responsibility by working with administrators and staff at all levels of the organization.

Structure

The initial phase of the Fellowship program consists of rotations throughout the Health System designed to educate and orient the Fellow to the functions and structure of the organization. The Fellow will rotate with each member of the executive team. The Fellow will have the chance to meet with department managers, and key faculty; to participate in committee meetings and councils; to shadow leaders at the highest level of the organization; and to work on projects and tasks. Each rotation provides a link between a department’s role/function and relationship to other departments. The rotation experience allows the Fellow to experience and observe different managerial styles and develop a better understanding of the issues and challenges facing the Health System.

Eligible Projects
