Broward Health | Administrative Fellowship Program

The Broward Health Administrative Fellowship Program is a year-long fellowship program that provides a robust and dynamic learning environment in which the Administrative Fellow will take on short and long-term leadership roles, to gain a better understanding of the organization’s operations, mission, vision, and values through analytical analysis, research, and project support of hospital and system-wide initiatives and department needs.

The Administrative Fellow will be paired with a preceptor and work alongside senior leadership teams and other executives to gain an in-depth understanding of a healthcare system and hospital operations. Key highlights of the program are:

Ability to lead real-world projects with application to their facility and the entire system.
Receive coaching from a certified executive coach.
Inclusion in executive meetings as a member of the team, not just an observer.
Participation on the selection committee for the next round of Administrative Fellows.
Exposure to the entire system and every department.

To be eligible to apply, email your application to [email protected] applications open July 1st, 2025.
