Administrative Fellowship Program

The Loyola University Medical Center (LUMC) Administrative Fellowship is a one-year program structured to develop the leadership skills of future health-care administrators. The program promotes learning and application of practical skills in operations, strategy and front-line management to prepare fellows for leadership careers in the academic health-care environment. The competency-based curriculum is tiered to provide a broad educational experience in the first three months and front-line operational experience in a chosen area during the last nine. The LUMC fellowship offers the unique opportunity to work closely with administrative and clinical leaders in a fast-paced, ever-changing environment.

Loyola University Medical Center administrators and physicians are dedicated to the development and education of future health-care executives. This team will convey the complexities of the academic health-care environment and provide opportunities at all levels to develop leadership skills.
