Fellowships & Residency Programs
Overview of the Administrative Fellowship at
Texas Children’s Hospital
The Administrative Fellowship is
designed to develop future leaders in healthcare. We believe that
development occurs through a variety of experiences including
working closely with senior leaders, involvement in strategic
projects, partnering with an Executive Mentor, attending leadership
meetings, as well as participating in world-class development
workshops.
Working
Closely with Senior Leaders
Within the first few weeks of your Fellowship, you will have the
opportunity to meet with members of the Executive Council to gain a
better understanding of their areas of responsibility as well as a
sense of their experiences and leadership.
Involvement
in Strategic Projects
As an Administrative Fellow you will be involved in a variety of
strategic projects. Historically, participants have developed
business plans for expansion projects, helped design strategic
initiatives such as Enterprise Content Management, or served as team
members on other key projects. As a result of former fellows’
successful projects, Texas Children’s has developed new lines of
service, such as the Health Centers.
Partnering
with an Executive Mentor
Each Administrative Fellow is paired
with an Executive Mentor. You will have opportunities to shadow him
or her as well as learn from their experiences. The Executive helps
you better understand the organization, strategic priorities, and
growth plans as well as ensure you have a well-rounded experience in
the program.
Attending
Leadership Meetings
Regular attendance at the Executive Council and Director’s Forum is
encouraged. Here you gain valuable insight into the direction of
the organization as well as top challenges facing healthcare and
leadership. Additionally, fellows have a myriad of opportunities to
participate in other senior leader meetings.
Participating in Development Workshops
Facilitative
Leadership,
Change Management, Influencing Others are just a few
of the types of development workshops you will have the opportunity

information that will add to your knowledge and assist in the
