The Administrative Fellowship

The University of Missouri Health Care Administrative Fellowship is a comprehensive two-year program dedicated to the professional development and personal growth of future health care leaders. Through valuable rotations and projects, fellows have the opportunity to learn from executive leaders and make a meaningful impact within the academic health system.

Our fellowship attracts the best and brightest graduates and helps them become caring and talented leaders.

During the first year, Fellows complete core rotations in:

  • Clinical Operations (Inpatient and Ambulatory Services)
  • Behavioral Health
  • School of Medicine Administration
  • Human Resources
  • Finance, Quality & Safety, Project Management, Business Development


During the second year, Fellows may complete additional elective rotations in areas such as:

  • Quality & Safety
  • Employee Relations
  • Patient Experience
  • Compliance & Regulatory Affairs
  • Supply Chain & Distribution
  • Pharmacy & Laboratory
  • Strategic Planning

During each rotation, fellows will be able to engage with executive leaders and develop areas of interest and experience within health care while simultaneously completing system level projects with executive guidance. Fellows can apply the skills learned during rotations and project work in interim leadership assignments, when appropriate.
