Administrative Fellowship

NYU Langone is committed to making world-class contributions that place service to human health at the center of an academic culture. To ensure the continuation of exceptional administrative service and practices that support those contributions, NYU Langone has developed a dedicated Administrative Fellowship Program.

Updated as of October 2020
Each year, NYU Langone Health’s Administrative Fellowship program employs up to five Fellows, including first and second-year Fellows. This year, in an unprecedented fashion, all current first-year Fellows have decided to exercise the option to stay for a second year. Unfortunately, this does mean that NYU Langone Health will not be offering any new Administrative Fellowship positions for 2021-2022. We regret that this notification is arriving after the application deadline; however, the timing was based on factors that could not be expedited or determined earlier.

We have been incredibly impressed with the informational interviews, conversations, and questions from webinars as well as dialogue with prospective candidates. Those who have applied will be eligible to apply for next year’s cycle, in which we will be recruiting for 5 fellowship positions. For further questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at adminfellow@nyulangone.org.

Program Overview

Administrative Fellows play an active and participatory role within the organization, one distinguished by hands-on experience. Those who complete the program are in a unique position to gain entry into the field of healthcare administration.

NYU Langone’s Administrative Fellowship is a one year, full-time, salaried program (with the potential opportunity for a second year, dependent upon performance and need). The Fellowship offers on-the-job training in the skills and responsibilities required of a hospital administrator in a major academic medical center. However, the feature that most distinguishes our program is that Fellows are able to tailor and define their experiences through the variety of projects that they work on during their time with NYU Langone.

As part of this program, you will learn by assuming increasing levels of responsibility and become involved in an unusually broad range of issues, personnel, and procedures, while being supervised by senior-level administrators. Activities may include, but are not limited to:

• administrator on-call duties
• compliance and regulatory assessment
• financial decisions and budget review
• operational processes and workflow analysis
• policy evaluation and procedure development
• program design and implementation
• staff and line support
• utilization management analysis

Program Structure

Fellows report directly to the Chief of Hospital Operations. Fellowship preceptors are the Vice President of Medical Services for Tisch Hospital, the Senior Vice President for Hospital Operations at the NYU Langone Orthopedic Hospital, the Senior Vice President & Executive Hospital Director at NYU Langone Hospital — Brooklyn, and the Senior Vice President for Hospital Operations at NYU Winthrop Hospital.

The Administrative Fellowship is both rotational and project-based in nature. The initial phase consists of rotations throughout NYU Langone designed to educate and orient Fellows to the functions and structure of the organization. Each rotation provides a link between a department’s role/function and relationship to other departments. These rotations will give you the opportunity to:

• experience all operational and clinical areas, which include: finance, infection prevention and control, strategic planning, care management, regulatory, cancer institute, patient-centered care, rehabilitation, day surgery, emergency department, critical care nursing, and bed management.
• develop a better understanding of the issues and challenges facing NYU Langone and individual departments.
• collaborate with clinicians and researchers—many of whom are at the forefront of biomedical progress and achievement.
• observe different managerial styles.
• strengthen leadership and management skills.
• identify potential projects and career paths.

Upon completion of the rotations (2-3 months), Fellows become fully immersed in projects and can work on hospital-wide initiatives as well as projects at the unit/department level. In addition, you will have the flexibility to seek out projects in personal areas of interest. Projects have included:

• coordinating the opening of new outpatient surgery facilities.
• reducing boarding time in emergency department.
• managing and implementing Emergency Preparedness Program initiatives.
• participating in Lean Six Sigma Rapid Improvement Events.
• reducing sepsis rates in critical care units.
• supporting relocation of pediatric units during large scale renovations.
• coordinating change management within ancillary services.
• developing business cases and P&L for a new orthopedic center.
• leading staff-related gap analysis for perioperative and acute care services.

Expectations

Fellows are expected to play a participatory and supportive role in meetings and committee work that relates to specific projects as well as senior leadership initiatives.

Our Fellowship program provides for visibility and exposure at the highest levels of the organization. During the engagement, you may attend administrative leadership and operations management meetings; Board of Trustee Patient Care committee meetings; and, of course, departmental and service level meetings, depending upon your rotation/assignment.

Additionally, you will be expected to work with other senior hospital administrators on projects and initiatives, make presentations as required, and rotate administrative on-call responsibilities.

Application Process/Requirements

The application deadline for the 2021 Administrative Fellowship will be in Fall 2020.

Applicants are required to graduate from an accredited healthcare management program (MHA, MHSA, MPH, MPA or MBA program with a focus in healthcare administration) by the beginning of the fellowship in July 2021. All applications should be submitted electronically through the National Administrative Fellowship Centralized Application Service (NAFCAS). Applications will be available beginning end of June 2020 at the following link: nafcas.liaisoncas.com. Any applications submitted after the NAFCAS deadline will not be considered. NYU does not sponsor work visas for administrative fellowship positions.

Fifteen finalists will be invited to travel to New York City to visit NYU Langone for an on-site interview with senior leadership.

Required application portfolio materials include:

• Current Resume
• Official Graduate School Transcript (Visit the “Academic History” quadrant to submit colleges attended and to download the Transcript Request Form for your registrar’s office. Transcripts should be sent directly from your registrar’s office to NAFCAS.
• Three (3) Letters of Recommendation (to be requested in the “Supporting Information” quadrant): (1) ACADEMIC, (1) PROFESSIONAL, and (1) OTHER (academic, professional, or letter from your program director)
• 2 essays (maximum 300 words each)

• Please explain why you are interested in completing an Administrative Fellowship and why at NYU Langone Health. What do you hope to gain from the experience?
• What experience do you have, academic or professional, that makes you a good candidate for the NYU Administrative Fellowship? What unique qualities or experiences do you have that make you a good candidate?
