Children's Hospital Colorado Administrative Fellowship

In addition to our dedication to providing the best care for kids, Children's Hospital Colorado is committed to providing educational opportunities to students in health administration. Our Administrative Fellowship program is designed to:

• Assist graduate students in applying what they have learned in the classroom to a healthcare organization
• Provide students with an introduction to the daily activities of an organization from the perspective of top management
• Enhance the student's understanding of the healthcare industry, as well as, the organization's strategy and distinctive competencies
• Allow the students to analyze the decision-making process at different levels of the organization

Administrative Fellowship

Children's Hospital Colorado is currently accepting applications for the Administrative Fellowship beginning summer of 2013. The Administrative Fellowship is a year-long program in which the student gains valuable exposure to system and departmental operations through projects, organizational rotations, participation in meetings and other professional experiences. The projects and rotations will be customized toward the fellow's interests and the needs of the senior-level management team.

The Fellowship program follows the standards set by the American College of Healthcare Executives. One fellow is chosen per year and will be compensated. The fellow reports directly to the Chief Operating Officer and will have mentoring opportunities with other senior-level executives.
