The University of Texas Medical Center Administrative Fellowship

Developing Future Leaders in Academic Health Care Administration

The University of Texas Medical Center Administrative Fellowship offers a dynamic two-year journey for emerging leaders in health care administration to help shape the future of a rapidly expanding academic medical center, anchored by Dell Medical School.

Located in the heart of Austin on the UT campus, the administrative fellowship includes rotational and project-based activities, longitudinal leadership development and independent management experience, incorporating all facets of academic health care operations.

In partnership with the program’s executive sponsor, fellows also participate as members of standing senior leadership teams and committees, contributing to executive-level decision-making across the organization. Learn more about the fellowship through a welcome letter from the executive sponsor.

About the Experience

In 2023, The University of Texas System announced the monumental initiative to build a world-class academic medical center, anchored by Dell Med. Fellows within the administrative fellowship support the burgeoning UT Medical Center environment, which will include a new, state-of-the-art UT hospital, a new world-renowned MD Anderson Cancer Center, and the academic and research expertise of UT Austin.

Year 1: During the first year of the program, fellows take on a variety of projects designed to expose them to the core functions of the organization, including:

  • Strategy and business development
  • Clinical operations
  • Quality improvement
  • Information technology
  • Human resources
  • Finance operations
  • Medical education
  • Project planning and management
  • Research and innovation
  • Community partnerships

Year 2: The second year of the program deepens fellows’ involvement in organizational functions through an interim management role or significant high-profile project aligned with individual professional goals and institutional needs.

Throughout both years, fellows receive continuous mentorship and are embedded within the executive team leading Dell Med in its mission and vision.
