In 2022, Atrium Health and Advocate Aurora Health came together to do more, be better and go faster to help more people live well. Together, we can deliver the best healthcare outcomes and make care more accessible and affordable for all. Under one enterprise, Advocate Health, we aim to train the best healthcare leaders through the Advocate Health Administrative Fellowship.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM

Advocate Health Administrative Fellowship This fellowship is a one-year, post-graduate, project-based program that selects fellows each year and is designed to provide the fellow with broad knowledge of healthcare operations and strategic planning. Under the guidance of their preceptor, fellows gain substantial experience and exposure to diverse divisions, departments, and cross-functional teams throughout the organization. Specifically, fellows will each lead a project that advances Advocate Health’s commitment, is anchored in our strategic priorities, and impacts the continuum of health and care. Ample opportunities will be available for fellows to lead and be active participants in other projects and initiatives as determined. In addition, fellows will be supported by a network of leaders and former fellows and encouraged to pursue their interests in operations, strategy, finance, quality, human resources, business development and/or other areas of health care.

PROGRAM HISTORY

Collectively, Advocate Health and its care delivery brands, Atrium Health, Atrium Wake Forest Baptist, Aurora Health Care and Advocate Health Care, have participated in offering administrative fellowships for over 40 years.
