Administrative Fellowship Structure

The initial phase of the fellowship consists of rotations throughout the Medical Center designed to educate and orient the Fellow to the functions and structure of the organization. Each rotation provides a link between a department’s role/function and relationship to other departments. It provides an opportunity for the Resident to ask questions and develop a better understanding of the issues and challenges facing the Medical Center. The rotation experience allows the Fellow to experience and observe different managerial styles and to strengthen their leadership and management skills.

Projects and responsibilities include:

• Program design and implementation
• Policy evaluation and procedure development
• Financial impact and budget review
• Compliance and regulatory assessment
• Operational processes and workflow analysis
• Utilization management analysis
• Staff and line support

The Fellow attends all appropriate meetings and is involved in committee work. There is ample opportunity for interaction with clinicians and researchers, many of whom are at the forefront of biomedical progress and achievement. The Fellow reports to senior-level administrators, makes presentations as required, and rotates administrative on-call responsibilities with other hospital administrators.

The Fellow’s role is an active, participatory one. The feature that most distinguishes this program is hands-on experience. The Fellow is able to play a role of genuine importance both in NYU Medical Center’s day-to-day administrative operations, and in the overall planning of its future. The opportunities are unlimited. The individual who completes an administrative fellowship at NYU Medical Center is in a unique position to gain entry into the field of healthcare administration.
