Value of the Fellowship

“The INTEGRIS Health administrative fellowship program incorporates a unique blend of clinical, operational, urban, and rural rotational opportunities.  Being able to gain in-depth knowledge and understanding of how the health system operates from the front-line to the Executive Leadership Team is invaluable.  As someone who worked within the organization prior to entering into the program, the organizational culture breeds continuous development opportunities for all of the caregivers who seek further career advancement.  The skills and competencies gained through the administrative fellowship have enabled me to be successful in my continued endeavors that were a direct result of the benefits offered by the program.”
“The INTEGRIS Health fellowship program provides fellows with an experience unparalleled to other organizations. As a fellow, I had an unlimited number of opportunities to learn, ranging from attending high level executive meetings to observing a liver transplant in the operating room. The fellowship experience provides the fellow with the right tools and knowledge to be successful in the future.”
“Apart from allowing me to get my foot in the door, the INTEGRIS fellowship provided me the opportunity to learn how all levels of an organization function and rely on one other to create a successful entity. One on one interviews with the CEO, sitting in on weekly executive meetings, shadowing different departments and meeting with executives all throughout, this program set the groundwork that my career will build upon. They provided me with all the tools necessary to be successful and am happy I was afforded the opportunity to use them.”
“The INTEGRIS fellowship provides unmatched access to a health care system. The program offers unbridled flexibility which allows the student to focus on what interests him/her the most. After achieving a complete overview of the organization in the first six months, the fellow can delve into any number of projects that have piqued his/her interest. The INTEGRIS fellowship catapulted my health care career much like the fellows who came before and after me.”
“The INTEGRIS fellowship provides mentorship from the executive leadership team, including dedicated one-on-one time with the CEO. The fellow has constant exposure to the highest level of leadership and governance, and access to any part of the healthcare continuum for face to face learning opportunities with front line caregivers. There is a strong history and structure around the fellowship, but also enough flexibility to allow individual focus in particular areas of interest once you’ve spent several months learning about the entire breadth of the system.”
“The administrative fellowship at INTEGRIS Health gives you a level of career experience and professional growth that most healthcare administrators can only hope to receive much later into their professional careers. The fellows have access to every facet of the organization, from shadowing front-line caregivers to being at the table with executive leadership for strategic discussions. This breadth of exposure not only helps you determine your area of professional interest, but also develops a strong foundation for the rest of your career.”
“INTEGRIS Health offers a fellowship with limitless opportunities to learn and grow as a healthcare leader through participation in organizational projects and exposure to all levels of a complex healthcare system.  Through both internal and external networking opportunities with healthcare leaders, providers, and departmental caregivers, residents gain insight and experience which makes a healthcare organization successful in today’s challenging environment.”
“The INTEGRIS fellowship offered a breadth of experiences that prepared me for both urban and rural leadership roles. Very few organizations offer corporate, tertiary care and small market learning opportunities in the same setting. Combine that with an engaged executive leadership team who understands the teaching and mentoring intent of the fellowship and you have a recipe for success.”
