Job Summary
The Michigan Medicine Administrative Fellowship (MMAF) is a two-year program designed to provide an exceptional foundation for those seeking a career in academic health center administration. The fellowship offers the unique experience to work closely with and learn from administrative and clinical leaders in a health system that includes both a top-ranked medical school and hospital, and health centers.
Year one of the fellowship emphasizes high-impact project work aimed at advancing institutional priorities while cultivating core health care leadership competencies. Fellows also support executive-level meetings to observe firsthand enterprise management and decision-making.
Year two of the fellowship is structured as a customizable immersion that thoughtfully allows for continued growth and contribution to the health system. During the immersion, the fellow serves as an embedded resource under the direction and mentorship of preceptors and supervision of selected area leads. Through progressively more rigorous responsibilities, the fellow will work on initiatives that further align and integrate the clinical, research, and educational missions of the academic medical center.
Fellows regularly meet with members of the Senior Leadership Team, forming mentor relationships. Early meetings focus on building institutional knowledge of the health system, discussion of goals and interests, and potential project and rotation opportunities. Altogether, with additional health system leadership, Fellows are provided professional guidance and personalized developmental support throughout their fellowship experiences.
