Current and Past Fellows

Throughout the program, the Administrative Fellow has access to past Administrative Fellows through project involvement, mentorship and social activities.

“The Administrative Fellowship program provides a unique career opportunity of an organization’s inner workings at the highest level.  It is rare to have this opportunity early in an administrative career.  The learnings from this exposure are applied over and over in one’s individual career path.”
–Mary Boosalis, President & CEO, Premier Health

“While I was in graduate school in St. Louis, I knew I wanted to pursue a fellowship program that values its fellows as part of the executive team. The Fellowship gave me all the tools I needed to be a successful health care executive. The fact that there were eight past fellows in the system in various leadership roles was a strong testimony to the program for me. Now, being eight years out of the fellowship, the program has afforded me the skills I needed to operate both at a hospital level as well as in an integrated health care system. The support and mentorship I get from the senior executives has been incredible.”
–Yonathan Kebede, Vice President of Operations, Fidelity Health Care
