To a great extent, the residency is self-directed.  Residents are encouraged to apply their individual background and experience in the work environment in order to contribute to the system while gaining an in-depth understanding of an integrated healthcare delivery system.

The American Hospital Management Company, a Washington, DC based company managing an international system of medical centers, with hospitals throughout the Caribbean, Latin America, Central America, and Africa, seeks motivated and dynamic candidates with an interest in international healthcare.  Applicants must have completed a recognized undergraduate degree program or equivalent, and must have exceptional communication, collaborative and organizational skills. A second language, such as Spanish or Portuguese, is helpful but not required. The fellowship is self funded.  

The AHMC International Healthcare Administration Fellowship Program is designed to provide the Fellow with the education and practical experience necessary to successfully establish a career in international healthcare management and administration. Through real-time, hands-on operational experiences in established international healthcare institutions, the Fellow will learn the skills needed to manage and operate these complex and unique medical centers. This practical experience, learning side-by-side with seasoned international healthcare administrators, allows the AHMC Fellow to have the opportunity to see these skills being applied in real-time operations. The program is based on a “hands on” approach with the Fellow an integral part of the hospital’s executive team, and active in the organization’s business cycle. Both the practical and the didactic components expose the Fellow to new, evidence-based practices.

The fellowship begins with a two-month rotation through several key departments. The rotations are a vital component of the fellowship in that they:

• Help the fellows familiarize themselves with the international healthcare environment;
• Are necessary for successful project outcomes;
• Allow the organization to familiarize itself with the fellows;
• Allow the fellows to identify areas within the organization where they would like to spend extended time through project work or further rotations

Fellows shadow executive leadership and rotate through administrative and clinical areas, spending time with ancillary and clinical support services. These initial rotations provide a good overview and a base of knowledge of hospital operations and governance.

After initial rotations, the preceptor and fellow determine the appropriate concentration and project portfolio tailored to the strengths and areas of improvement for each individual fellow.  Executive mentors are then matched with fellows based on selected concentrations. This partnership ensures that fellows strengthen and work on necessary skill sets through periodic review of goal achievement. 

Once concentration areas are selected, a second—more specific—rotation occurs in the area of interest to the fellow. Unlike the broad-based rotations, tours through these areas are focused on operational mechanics and analysis within departments and areas of interest.

Unique to AHMC fellows is an opportunity to fulfill an attachment with the Chief Administrative Officer in the Harvard Medical Faculty Physician Consulting Group based out of Boston, Massachusetts.  Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, a teaching hospital with Harvard Medical School and consistently recognized as one of US News & World Report's Best Hospitals, will be the site where fellows complete the attachment.

The Australian-American Health Policy Fellowship offers a unique opportunity for outstanding, mid-career U.S. professionals—academics, government officials, clinical leaders, decision-makers in managed care and other private health care organizations, and journalists—to spend up to 10 months in Australia conducting research and working with leading Australian health policy experts on issues relevant to both countries. The Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing hopes to enrich health policy thinking as fellows study how Australia approaches health policy issues, share lessons learned from the United States, and develop an international perspective and network of contacts to facilitate exchange and collaboration that extends beyond the fellowship experience

Applicants must demonstrate a strong interest in health policy issues and propose a study within the scope of The Commonwealth Fund’s mission to promote a high performing health care system that achieves better access, improved quality, and greater efficiency, particularly for society’s most vulnerable, including low income people, the uninsured, minority Americans, young children, and elderly adults.

A peer-reviewed journal article or policy report for high-level policy audiences is the anticipated product of the fellowship. Fellows have published their findings in leading journals, including: British Medical Journal, Health Affairs, Health Policy, International Journal for Quality in Health Care, New England Journal of Medicine, and Quality and Safety in Health Care.

Building on their fellowship experiences, Harkness Fellows have moved into senior positions within academia, government, and health care delivery organizations, making valuable contributions to health policy and practice at home and in the United States. In addition, Harkness Fellows become part of a strong international network, with opportunities for ongoing cross-national collaborations and research. 

The deadline for receipt of applications: August 15, 2012.

For a fellowship of 10 months, an award of up to $87,000 (AUD) will be provided, which includes round trip airfare to Australia, a monthly stipend, and project-related travel.

• Resumé
• Personal statement of interest in pursuing an administrative fellowship at MD Anderson

  • No longer than one page, single spaced, 12-point font.

The Administrative Fellowship Program at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center offers unparalleled exposure to the #1 Cancer Center in the World, as designated by US News and World Report over eight of the past 10 years. In existence since the early 1990's, the Administrative Fellowship Program at MD Anderson has trained over 20 years of Administrative Fellows and boasts executive support, mentorship and project-work that can be found at no other Administrative Fellowship program in the country. 

Our Fellowship Program is structured as follows:  

Rotations:

The Fellowship begins with a two-month rotation through several key departments and areas throughout MD Anderson. The rotations are a vital component of the fellowship in that they:

• Help the fellows familiarize themselves with MD Anderson
• Are necessary for successful project outcomes
• Allow the organization to familiarize itself with the fellows
• Allow the fellows to identify areas within the organization where they would like to spend extended time through project work, mentorship, and/or further rotations

Fellows shadow and interact with executive leadership and rotate through administrative and clinical areas, spending time with all ancillary and clinical support services. These initial rotations provide a good overview and a base of knowledge of MD Anderson.

Concentration & Mentorship:

After initial rotations, the preceptor and fellow determine the appropriate concentration and project portfolio tailored to the strengths and areas of improvement for each individual fellow.  Executive mentors are then matched with fellows based on selected concentrations. This partnership ensures that fellows strengthen and work on necessary skill sets through periodic review of goal achievement. 

Once concentration areas are selected, a second—more specific—set of rotations occur in the area of interest to the fellow. Unlike the broad-based rotations, tours through these areas are focused on operational mechanics and analysis within departments and areas of interest. Related governance standards (i.e., ACHE, HFMA, CPHIMS, TAPE) consistent with the concentration, also serve as credential milestones for fellows who qualify. 

Projects:

The MD Anderson Hospital Administrative Fellowship Program allows the fellows to learn how to work both independently and as a member of multidisciplinary team through project-based work. At MD Anderson, the fellows are assured that the quality and caliber of projects build the specific skills needed by healthcare administrators. From day one, fellows are treated with respect as a professional or colleague, and not merely as a student or intern. 

Fellows’ projects are evaluated for skills development in one of the following core administrative competencies:

• Governance and the Organization
• Planning and Marketing
• Human Resources
• Financial Asset Management
• Plant and Facility Management
• Healthcare Information Systems Management
• Quality Assessment and Improvement
• Government Regulations and Law
• Organizational Arrangements and Relationships
• Education/Research/Ethics

Project deliverables in the past have included presentations, publications, proposals, business plans, budgets, etc.

With the concentration option, incoming fellows have the opportunity to participate in operational projects aligned with the area of interest selected. The intent of this approach is to increase fellows’ exposure to detail-rich projects consistent with their career goals.

To qualify as  a Resident, the applicant should be a current graduate student who has completed the didactic portion of their graduate program and is required to pursue a 12 month practical experience prior to receiving their degree.

The graduate program should be in Health Care Administration, Health Services Administration, Public Health, Business Administration, or Public Administration with an emphasis in health care management / administration. The graduate program must be accredited. Due to the nature of the position, the applicant must be a U.S. citizen.

The applicant packet must include the following: cover letter, resume, graduate transcripts, three letters of recommendation (at least one academic and one professional), and a one page personal statement addressing career objectives, short and long term goals, areas of interest in health care, and interest in the VA. All application packets must be complete and mailed in one envelope to the attention of Tracye B. Davis, Executive Assistant to the Director. Please note that incomplete packets will not be reviewed.
